> The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute said the Danube’s average daily flow in Bratislava’s Devin borough fell to 575.9 cubic meters per second on October 5, the lowest since measurements began in 1900 and below the 1909 record. It also reported that this summer was Slovakia’s third-warmest since 1931, with severe to extreme drought affecting about 90% of the country.
