Intense storms battering central Europe are now reaching Italy, where warnings for heavy rain, strong winds and floods have been issued for much of the country.
The town's main bridge has collapsed after being damaged by the swollen river, while many of its streets are covered in a thick layer of mud. The country has experienced the worst flooding in over 27 years, according to local NGO Člověk v tísn. The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service has warned the river could experience an "extremely rare" water increase - and confirmed plans are in place to put up flood barriers if necessary.National Civil Protection Service has also issued yellow alerts for nearly 50 regions tomorrow, warning there is a risk of storms, landslides and floods.
Red weather warnings have already been issued by the Italian Air Force Meteorological Service for Wednesday. While events in central Europe fit with expectations of more extreme rainfall in a warming world, it is not yet possible to quantify exactly how much of a role climate change has played.
