Kardzhali sits deep in the eastern Rhodope Mountains along the Arda River, one of the more mountainous and reliably wetter parts of southern Bulgaria, where reservoirs along the Arda are managed partly in response to seasonal rainfall. Steep terrain around the town means runoff can be rapid after heavy storms. NIMH radar coverage extends into this Rhodope mountain district.
