This page is a repository of known issues of the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS). Please keep these in mind when using EFAS and related data. Known issues include, but are not limited to, forecast issues, production incidents, and data quality deterioration. EFAS is an operational system so it is important we are made aware of issues/errors in our system in a timely manner. If you find a problem or any feature missing that you think should be present, and it is not listed here, please let us know by reporting it through the ECMWF Support Portal, mentioning "EFAS" in the summary. |
| Start | End | Impact | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ongoing | EFAS forecasts degraded over Ukraine | Erroneous precipitation values were reported on 09/03/2022, bringing about high accumulations of snow and its forecasted melting, in the EFAS system. Investigation of this issue is underway and EFAS technical contacts in Ukraine are aware of this degradation in the forecasts. Due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine, the quality of EFAS results for the region has been lowered due to lack of national precipitation data. The EFAS team is working on a solution and investigating alternative ways to replace missing data. |
