Concurrently with flooding in Germany in early June, rising river levels on the Danube River reached 6.86 meters on the morning of 4 June, causing it to burst its banks in Linz, submerging areas close to the river. All river traffic along the Danube in the Lower Austria area was halted. [3]

The flooding caused significant disruptions to the 2024 European Parliament elections, particularly in the province of Styria. The heavy rainfall rendered several polling stations in Deutschfeistritz, Hartberg-Fürstenfeld District, and Graz inaccessible or destroyed, necessitating rapid responses from local authorities to ensure that voters could still participate in the election process. In addition, The Übelbach river burst its banks due to the intense rainfall, causing mudslides that destroyed houses and washed away cars in Übelbach. [4] Five people, including one firefighter on duty, died in Lower Austria. [5] On 15 September, a skier was found dead under a snowdrift in Untertauern, [6] while another person was buried by an avalanche on 13 September at Karwendel and remains missing. [7]

Belgium

On 3 January, one woman died after being hit by a blown-away fence during a period of heavy rainfall in Belgium. [8] An infant was killed by a falling tree due to heavy winds and rainfall at a park in Brussels on 9 July. [9]

On 10 October, the Eau Rouge River, near the French border, overflowed due to heavy rains from Storm Kirk, leading to flooding. Around the Ardennes region in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France, the most rain was reported. Couvin saw major flooding, leading to a communal emergency plan getting activated. [10]

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Southern Bosnia and Herzegovina was affected by flooding due to torrential rain on the night of 3–4 October 2024. Several towns were rendered inaccessible along with surrounding villages, as roads, bridges, and railways were blocked by flood waters and landslides. [11] Reportedly, houses collapsed in flash floods while residents were inside. [12] The floods killed 27 people. [13]

Croatia

According to Croatian authorities, the Danube was expected to crest on the Croatia–Serbia border around the weekend of 21–22 September. [14] On 13–14 September, the low brought a temperature drop of up to 20 °C (36 °F) to Croatia, causing an unseasonable snowfall in the mountains. [15] Flash flood warnings were issued for 3–4 October. [16] Gračac and Krk broke their all-time records for daily rainfall, at 249 and 192 mm (9.8 and 7.6 in), respectively.

The 2024 floods in the Czech Republic caused insured property damage equal to around 8.4 billion Czech crowns (€331.1 million), but insurance company estimates [20] place the damage as high as 19.3 billion Czech crowns (€761.5 million). From a financial perspective this makes it the second worst disaster in the country's history, second only to the 2002 floods.

The flooding began on 13 September after heavy rains. Over 200 rivers were reported spilling over their banks as of 15 September. The most critical situation was in North Moravia, especially in the region of Jeseníky mountains, followed by North-East Moravia where thousands of people had to be evacuated. Jeseník and Opava were among the worst hit places where a few houses were destroyed by the overflowing river. The evacuation operation there started on the night of 14/15 September in the major residential area of Kateřinky. The biggest city, which was flooded, Ostrava, was affected only in some parts; the damages are estimated to be billions of crowns. [21] There was an ongoing threat in a handful of places in the South Bohemian Region. For the whole country, four people are reported missing, thousands were displaced and around 250000 were left without electricity.[ needs update ] Several roads and railroads were closed and water also leaked into one station of the Prague Metro, but it remained operational.

On 15 September, Martin Kupka, the Czech transport minister, announced that the railway operation around Ostrava region, one of the major regions in the country, will remain suspended for at least a week to repair the damage caused by heavy rain and floods.

[26] The River Aa overflowed following heavy rains. [27] On 10 March, five people were killed by floods following violent storms across southern France, [28] with seven others reported missing. [29] On 31 March, heavy rainfall lead to the severe flooding of the town of Montmorillon. [30] Floods in Central France affected the departments of Yonne and Saône-et-Loire in April. [31] In June, heavy rains caused flooding in Eauze, Montréal, and Fourcès in Gers. [32]

Due to Storm Kirk, a storm swell near the port city of Sete overturned three boats, killing one amateur sailor and leaving another two in critical condition, according to Herault department authorities. [33] Hurricane Leslie's remnants brought significant flooding to the country. Numerous communes recorded over 300 mm (12 in) of rain, with rainfall in Mayres exceeding 689 mm (27.1 in). Some buildings were submerged, along with 700 people losing power. Strong winds uprooted a tree, killing a man and injuring his two children. [34]

Germany

Flooding in Germany caused at least nine deaths, insured property damage of €2.2 billion, and over 3,000 displaced individuals. [35] [36] [37] [38] [39]

In May 2024, over 100 liters of rain per square meter came down in less than 24 hours over Saarland. A woman in Saarbrücken was injured during an evacuation and later died, while a Red Cross worker died following a rescue operation from heart failure. [40]

In June 2024, significant flooding struck Southern Germany, striking the most in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Dozens of villages had to be evacuated across Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria due to the straining and failure of several dams and dykes caused by the persistent heavy rainfall. [41] Among the rivers whose water levels significantly rose include the Danube, the Isar, the Zusam, the Weilach, the Ilm, the Paar, the Schmutter, [42] the Roth, and the Leibi. [43] Many places had more rainfall in 24 hours than their whole monthly average, and in many areas, the water reached levels that were present only "once in a century" according to the Bavarian Flood Information Service. [44]

An inflatable rescue raft containing four firefighters capsized while evacuating citizens in Pfaffenhofen from floodwaters from the overflowing Ilm River, resulting in the death of one firefighter. [45] Another firefighter was missing, as well as a woman in Schrobenhausen which was later found dead. Carriages of a train were derailed by a landslide caused by the heavy raining near Schwaebisch Gmund. None of the 185 passengers were injured. [46]

[37] The Falkenstein Castle in Upper Bavaria partially collapsed to the north due to heavy rainfall, causing the evacuation of 50 residents under the castle complex. [47] On 5 June, a 79-year-old woman which was missing since 2 June was found dead. [36]

Hungary

Rainfall and upstream flooding from Germany and Austria caused several tidal surges along the banks of the Danube and the Rába in Hungary starting on 6 June 2024. The Danube tidal surge forced closure of the Budapest Public Road along a section of the "lower quay of Buda between Mozaik Street and Rákóczi Bridge" and a part of "the lower quay of Pest between Népfürdő Street and Közraktár Street". The "main building" of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics was closed due to elevated river levels. [48] [49]

By 10 June 2024, alerts were activated along 912.4 kilometers of river sections, with the highest degree alerts in place along 10.42 kilometers of these sections. The Rába faced record water at 4.22m at Szentgotthárd, initiating a third-degree flood alert and prompting the National Water Management Directorate (OVF) to mobilize over 400 staff members to build up extensive flood defense efforts, including placing 120,000 sandbags to construct a 2.5 km flood barrier in Körmend. The Strém and Pinka rivers nearly received the monthly rainfall average in six hours, the latter recording its highest water level ever at 5.08m in Felsőcsatár. [50]

Overflow in the Danube and Rába in turn caused several mosquito breeding sites to arise in Sopron, Debrecen, and Miskolc, requiring the National Directorate General for Disaster Management to use biological control to prevent further spread of mosquito-borne disease. [51]

As of 17 September, 500 kilometres (310 mi) of the Danube is under flood warnings in preparation due to rising waters. In Budapest, the city government handed out 1 million sandbags to citizens. Train services between Budapest and Vienna were cancelled. [14] The lower half of Margaret Island was closed off. [52] On the 21st of September 2024 the Danube peaked at 830 cm. [53]

Hurricane Stan was the deadliest tropical cyclone of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. A relatively weak system that affected areas of Central America and Mexico in early October 2005, Stan was the eighteenth named storm and eleventh hurricane of the 2005 season, having formed from a tropical wave on October 1 after it had moved into the western Caribbean. The depression slowly intensified, and reached tropical storm intensity the following day, before subsequently making its first landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula. While traversing the peninsula, the tropical storm weakened, but was able to re-intensify once it entered the Bay of Campeche. Under favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis, Stan attained hurricane strength on October 4, and later reached peak intensity with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 977 mbar (28.9 inHg). The hurricane maintained this intensity until landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz later the same day. Once over the mountainous terrain of Mexico, however, Stan quickly weakened, and dissipated on October 5.

The basin covers the Indian Ocean north of the equator as well as inland areas, sub-divided by the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Although the season began early with two systems in January, the bulk of activity was confined from September to December. The official India Meteorological Department tracked 12 depressions in the basin, and the unofficial Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) monitored two additional storms. Three systems intensified into a cyclonic storm, which have sustained winds of at least 63 km/h (39 mph), at which point the IMD named them.
