A massive flood wave moving across Central Europe is threatening new areas and raising concerns among residents and officials

Europe faces severe weather disruptions with heavy snow and flooding affecting several countries. Austrian railways have suspended services due to snow, while heavy rain alerts are in place in southern Germany,

Exceptionally heavy rainfall has been pounding Central Europe and has prompted deadly flooding in the region, with four new deaths reported in Poland, three in Czech Republic and one in Romania.

Heavy rains caused severe flooding in Central Europe, affecting countries like Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Romania.

While storm Boris, which brought the enormous rainfall, was caused by the rather unusual collision of polar air and warm, humid air from the unusually hot Mediterranean, the deeper causes lie in the dramatic acceleration of climate change.

At least eight people have died after some of the heaviest rain in years hit central and eastern Europe, causing flooding and widespread disruption.
