heavy rain and flooding in parts of Germany

Meanwhile, South and East German regions are fighting with the consequences of continuing rain. The flood situation in Saxony is tense, especially in Dresden, where alarm level one was pronounced for the Elbe. The water level already exceeds four meters and it is expected that it will continue to rise by the middle of this week. In Schöna, also on the Elbe, alarm level two already applies, which indicates upcoming floods. These developments were made by stern.de

In addition, the German weather service reports powerful constant rain in the Alps and adjacent regions, which further raises the water levels. In Bavaria, the water levels have already risen significantly, with many vertical points being reached on Sunday morning. However, the rain will ensure a moderate increase, especially in the east from Sunday afternoon, before the weather is expected to relax until Wednesday. Nevertheless, the development remains uncertain and the forecasts show that the areas concerned have to expect high levels until Tuesday.
