Storm Boris has caused severe flooding across central Europe, killing at least 21 people in Austria, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic. The storm dumped five times the average September rainfall in just four days, forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. Rivers like the Danube and Oder have overflowed, submerging towns and damaging homes. In Poland and Austria, emergency workers and volunteers are reinforcing flood defenses. The storm is expected to move towards northern Italy, where more heavy rain is forecast. Extreme weather, worsened by climate change, is becoming more frequent across Europe.
