Parts of central Europe are currently on high alert as they prepare for heavy rain and potential flooding over the weekend. Austrian authorities are closely monitoring water levels of the Salzach River, anticipating flooding issues along the border with Germany. In the Czech Republic, there are concerns about a once-in-a-hundred-year flood, prompting city workers in Prague to erect flood defenses in the historic center.
Local meteorologists are warning that this could be the most severe flooding in decades, with continuous rainfall over the past few days totaling up to 189 millimeters in some areas. More rain is expected, with higher elevations likely to experience significant snowfall, potentially reaching up to two meters in some mountainous regions of the Alps.
