The intense ones storms that hit Central Europe have now reached Italy, where warnings of heavy rain, strong winds and flooding have been issued for much of the country.
Flooding has been reported in the central city of Pescara since yesterday, while weather warnings from the Italian Meteorological Service are in force from the northern coast of Emilia-Romagna to the far south.
In the province of Foggia, the body of a firefighter who was swept away with his car by the rapids during an operation was found.
New warnings in Central Europe
The warnings come as the floods devastated parts of Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Austria this week, leaving at least 21 dead, according to the latest update.
Authorities in Croatia, Hungary and Slovakia are also warning of the possibility of flooding in the coming days.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said 13,500 people had been evacuated and more than 600 had been rescued. The threat of flooding in the Czech Republic has since gradually eased, with the number of flooded areas in the country falling from more than 200 to just over 130. South Bohemia is still at risk of flooding.
The significant flooding was caused by Storm Boris, which brought massive amounts of rain and snow over the weekend.
More than 5,000 soldiers have been deployed to help people in southern Poland, including the 40,000 residents evacuated from the town of Nysa.
