 After floods in Europe claimed 21 lives, Italy is about to endure a storm.





Italy is currently experiencing severe storms that are pounding central Europe; over a lot of the country, advisories for flooding, high winds, and torrential rainfall have been posted. 


Pescara in the center of the country has already received reports of flooding, and weather alerts issued by the Italian weather office cover the region from Emilia-Romagna's northern coast to the deep south.

 The warnings coincide with this week's devastating floods that has killed at least 21 people in portions of Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Austria. Authorities in Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia have also issued warnings about impending flooding.

Storm Boris, which dumped a ton of rain and snow over the weekend, is to blame for the major flooding. In order to assist the 40,000 people who had to be rescued from the town of Nysa, more than 5,000 soldiers have been sent to southern Poland. 


The magnitude of the destruction is becoming seen in Polish towns like Glucholazy as the floodwaters in the region are expanding in some areas and retreating in areas. 


Many of the town's streets are covered with mud, and the main bridge collapsed due to damage caused by the swelling river.

Polish police issued a warning against "negative news" on Tuesday after reports in the press that said more than a dozen people had dead. 

On Tuesday, they confirmed that at least six people had perished. A month-long state of natural disaster has been announced by the nation's prime minister, Donald Tusk, with the heaviest flooding predicted to occur in the city of Wroclaw on Wednesday.



The worst-hit locations are those near the Czechoslovak border, where 15,000 people have also been relocated in the Czech Republic. 

The greatest flooding the nation has seen in over 27 years, according to the local NGO ÄŒlovÄ™k v tísn, has struck. 


As a result of Tuesday's intense rains, the Oder River breached its banks, with Ostrava being among the most devastated municipalities. 

As a result of the Danube's rapid rise in water levels, Budapest, the city of Hungary, and Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, are bracing for potential floods.

 Volunteers and immediate assistance are also working around the clock to safeguard the area's low-lying communities, with support from the army in some areas.



According to publications in the local media, Austrian officials have stopped portions of the Danube to shipping traffic due to the rising water levels along the important river. The river may see a "highly rare" water increase, the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Office issued a warning and it confirmed that preparations are in place to erect flood barriers if needed. 

The National Civil Protection Service of Italy has also issued yellow alerts for around 50 regions for tomorrow, alerting people to the possibility of storms, landslides, and flooding. Most of the smaller, highland rivers in flood-prone eastern Europe have reached their peak river levels, according to University of Reading meteorology Prof. Hannah Cloke, who spoke with the media. 


"Some larger water bodies, such as the Danube and Oder, continue to rise in parts and will not begin flowing down again till late Tuesday or Wednesday, and are going to stay significantly greater than normal," she stated. 

The Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions are identified as the areas of most risk in the BBC Weather predictions. In the next three days alone, the area could receive as much rain as it would for one or two months, and the possibility of flooding is quite concerning.

 More than 200 calls for assistance have already been made to Pescara, Abruzzo firefighters, in response to flooding caused by heavy rainfall. More rain is predicted in Romania's eastern Carpathians, putting the already severely damaged cities and villages in the counties of Galati and Vaslui in jeopardy.


Much of the world, including central Europe, is seeing an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme rains. Although more intense rainfall is predicted in a planet that is warming as evidenced by the events in central Europe, the precise impact of climate change remains uncertain. 


A thorough scientific examination of the human and natural effects is necessary to determine this with certainty, and it may take several weeks or months. However, as the earth heats, climate experts have been warning for years that intense downpour events like these will happen.

More moisture is retained in a warmer environment, which results in heavier rainfall. Additionally, increased evaporation from warmer waters fuels storm systems.


The atmosphere can contain around 7% extra moisture for every 1C increase in the median global temperature. According to Prof. Cloke, experts anticipate that if global temperatures rise further, climate change would worsen floods in the years to come since "severe summer flooding are stronger and fill up waterways more quickly." 


She additionally stated: "Just a few days earlier, parts of southern and eastern Europe had been suffering from periods of drought, heatwaves that will and flames" . "We went out of the frying pan and into the boiling waters."
