Deaths from massive floods in southwest Poland this month have risen to nine, police said, reporting two more bodies found in the clean-up.

Central Europe's devastating floods were made much worse by climate change and offer a stark glimpse of the future for the world's fastest-warming continent, scientists say. Storm Boris has ravaged countries including Poland,

Climate change has made downpours like the one that caused devastating floods in central Europe this month twice as likely to occur, a report said on Wednesday, as its scientific authors urged policymakers to act to stop global warming.

Record rainfall leading to flooding that killed 24 people in Europe earlier in September was twice as likely due to manmade climate change, a study has found.

At least 17 people have died and thousands have been displaced. “Relief is not expected to come before tomorrow, and more likely, the day after,” an official in Austria said.

Experts say the most severe floods to hit Central Europe in at least two decades fit into a broader pattern of extreme weather events.

As Storm Boris brought devastating floods to central and eastern Europe, skeptics on social media dismissed the role of climate change in making the deadly rainfall more intense. But scientists have established ties between a warmer atmosphere and torrential rain,

A new report indicates that climate change has doubled the likelihood of severe downpours like recent floods in central Europe. The record rainfall from Storm Boris caused extensive damage and fatalities.

The estimated market losses from the September 2024 floods in Central and Eastern Europe are expected to range between €1.6 billion and €2.1 billion, according to initial assessments by Guy Carpenter. Although the floods caused significant damage, the losses are notably lower than previous catastrophic events, such as the floods of 1997 and 2002.

Extreme rainfall that triggered deadly floods in Europe that killed at least 15 people earlier this month was made worse by orders of magnitude by climate change, a new study published Wednesday said.
