Flooding across Central Europe has left over 20 people dead and thousands displaced in countries including Romania, Poland, and Austria; climate change magnifies risks.
The current flooding event, part of a low-pressure system known as Storm Boris, has led to unprecedented rainfall, five times the norm for September over just four days.
Climatologist Richard Rood noted the unusual collision of cold Arctic air and warm, moisture-rich air could become more frequent due to climate change, raising concerns.
Sissi Knispel de Acosta emphasized that the ongoing severe flooding serves as a stark reminder of the increasing threat posed by climate-induced extreme weather events.
