River in Slovakia and Ukraine
At the mouth it carries 37 m³/s on average: an Olympic pool every 68 seconds. It drops from 408 m to 94 m, 1.7 m per kilometre on average. Its basin covers 3,130 km², about the size of LU. 952,000 people live in it. Highest water: from April to May; lowest: February. Dams and reservoirs hold back a large share of its water (14% of a year's flow).

- From May to SeptemberThe best months to visit
Latorica, month by month
Highest water: from April to May
Lowest water: February. Best months to visit: from May to September.
From about 38 m³/s in the lowest month to 200 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
