Residents in southern Germany were brought to safety by boats and helicopters. The consequences will also be felt by us. Meteorologist Nikolas Zimmermann knows what will happen to Austria in the coming days.
First the good news: “Germany has already passed the peak of rainfall. Today there will be local rain, but not generally and not to the same extent as the previous days,” explains meteorologist Nikolas Zimmermann of the private weather service UBIMET. In the Lindau district, 150 mm fell in 48 hours.
The region around Lake Constance is particularly in the spotlight. Due to the acute flood risk, more than 1,300 people were brought to safety, some by boats and helicopters.
Severe flooding was feared
Several districts have declared disaster. There are also concerns that rising water levels could lead to flooding. Some floods are expected here, which statistically only occur once every 50 to 100 years. The Danube is particularly affected. Is there also danger in Austria?
“Small to medium floods are expected on the Danube in Austria at the beginning of this week. But as the level of the Inn has only risen slightly, there will be no serious flooding in this country,” he said.
