Europe floods: More rain forecast as thousands evacuated DW 09/16/2024
Briefly

The recent severe rainfall in Central Europe has led to extensive flooding across multiple countries, resulting in at least seven fatalities and tens of thousands evacuated.
Experts attribute this increasingly severe weather to human-caused climate change, suggesting that a warmer atmosphere can result in more frequent extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall.
As rivers overflow their banks, towns in Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Poland are submerged, with significant concerns for residents and infrastructure in the affected areas.
The situation remains precarious, especially in regions like Dresden, where authorities are preparing for the flooding caused by the Elbe river reaching alarming levels.
