The recent torrential rains in Central Europe and eastern North Carolina have led to devastating flooding, killing at least 22 people and causing significant damage.
Meteorologists explain the extreme rainfall in Europe due to an atmospheric block, where the jet stream becomes pinned in position, resulting in prolonged heavy rainfall.
In North Carolina, more than a foot of rain fell in just 12 hours, exacerbating recovery efforts from previous storms and contributing to the current crisis.
Scientists attribute the unusual weather patterns on both sides of the Atlantic to distinct but separate meteorological phenomena that have converged, leading to unprecedented rainfall.
