Comments: Thousands of people have been evacuated from several parts of central Europe due to heavy rainfall and consequent flooding, particularly in the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Significant disruption to overland travel is expected to persist as further rainfall is forecast in the coming days in the region. Further rainfall, which has been forecast across parts of the region in the coming days, is likely to exacerbate the problems caused by flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Considerable disruption to essential services, including telecommunications and electricity, should be anticipated in the affected areas until the weather conditions improve and any damaged infrastructure is repaired.
