Extreme weather in Europe
Several dead and missing after heavy downpours in Europe
One person has died in Poland and four people are missing in the Czech Republic after storm Boris advanced in central and eastern Europe, writes AFP. On Saturday, five people were also reported dead in Romania.
In the Czech Republic, the heavy downpours have led to floods, so around 51,000 households in the northern parts of the country have been forced to evacuate, the BBC writes. In Poland's Glucholazy, the mayor has urged residents to evacuate to higher elevations due to flooding.
According to Zofia Owsiaka, a resident of Glucholazy, everyone in the town is scared, and there seems to be no "hope that the rain will stop".
- We are once again facing the effects of climate change, which is becoming more and more present on the European continent, says Romania's President Klaus Iohannis.
