Lake Ohrid has reached its second maximum height of 694m above sea level, and it is possible to exit the lakebed or flood.

That more will be seen on the part of the coast of Lake Ohrid and Struga, but also on the Black Drini River.

Because of the southern wind, the Pogradec side could pull the coastline to ten meters [10 m] as it grows more than 30 inches [50 cm]. It's impossible to predict the scenario, but if the southern wind appears, Ohrid is the most critical part, even from port to Kaneo, and further toward the town beach, because the coastline there is much lower. If there is a more extreme rate increase, the problems will also be in the direction of the city of Struga, Aleksandar Andjeloski- hydrolog told Alsat M.

Anjeloski calls for greater co-ordination between state and local institutions. At this critical time, it says that it is necessary to measure the amount of water daily in all the rivers flowing into the lake.

It is important to have a mirror in the water flow, whether the amount of water is poured into the lake and how water can be coordinated through the Black Drini, because there are problems with the inconcretion of the bahland of the”, he added.

The wind blowing last night in Ohrid in some places again caused problems. Under water was a section of the town's coast and some of the beaches on the west coast. Hoteliers say they prepared for this weekend for a new strong wind like that ten days ago.
