Never before had Central Europe seen such heavy rainfalls as those registered over September 12th and 16th when Storm Boris struck Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Czechia, Italy and Germany, killing 24 and causing significant material damage.

Thousands had to leave their houses after their buildings had been affected, bridges collapsed and local infrastructure deteriorated. Effects have not been removed yet and a cyclone from the Mediterranean called Ashley is already visible in Western Europe heading for Romania, whose weather is going to radically change starting Sunday.

Authorities are bracing themselves for potential extreme weather phenomena, with highs sharply dropping from 34 down to 15 degrees Celsius, 22 on Sunday and Monday when heavy rainfalls are being expected to hit 90 liters in the country’s south and part of the Carpathians.

An exchange of air masses are expected to cause a series of extreme weather phenomena, which require attention in the following period, the head of the National Meteorological Administration, Elena Mateescu says.

According to her, “we are speaking about significant weather instability, mainly in the west, north-west, of code yellow alerts with the quantities of precipitations estimated at 30-40 liters/square meters, after which we are going to have yellow and orange code alerts all over the country.”

Code red alerts cannot be excluded if the expected rainfalls are going to hit 100 liters per square meter in 24 hours.

Additional intervention forces are to be deployed to the areas the authorities consider of higher risk. The city halls in the aforementioned areas are to take all the necessary measures and get ready to evacuate the vulnerable persons in time. They must also be keeping in touch with the Emergency situation inspectorates.
