A recent study indicates that manmade climate change significantly increased the likelihood and severity of torrential rainfall that led to devastating floods across central Europe earlier this month, resulting in 24 fatalities. The extreme weather, sparked by Storm Boris, affected multiple countries, including Poland and Germany, and left nearly two million people impacted. Researchers emphasize that as global temperatures continue to rise, central Europe can expect more frequent and intense storms. Despite the severe rainfall, loss of life was mitigated compared to past events, thanks to improved forecasting and preemptive actions by authorities.
