Heavy rainfall causes problems in some Tbilisi districts

Several buildings were flooded as a result of heavy rainfall in Tbilisi last night.

Akhmeteli subway access was flooded heavily while the emergency service has received calls about flooding in the basements of residential buildings in Gldani, Mukhiani and Digomi districts as well.

On several motorways around the city, the level of the water increased so high that traffic movement was hindered. Due to the heavy flooding, several cars got stuck in water and rescuers had to save them during the night.

According to the Hydrometeorological Department of National Environment Agency of Georgia rainy and cool weather is expected in Tbilisi and Eastern Georgia for today too but the rainfall is not going to be as heavy as last night. Beginning from tomorrow the agency expects sunny weather  throughout Georgia.
