Heavy rain fell on Austria throughout the night, causing the water level of the Danube River to rise and the river water to overflow in some cities, especially the city of Linz, the capital of the state of Upper Austria, where the river level rose to 6.80 metres.
Meteorologist Christian Faconbinger expected that the river level today would exceed its maximum level in the city of Linz by 7.10 meters and remain at this level for a long time. He said, “The water level has exceeded the warning limit by more than a meter and a half.”
Austria is currently affected by the weather condition that the neighboring German state of Bavaria is exposed to, and the civil defense and fire services have taken further precautionary measures and protected basements by placing sandbags in low-lying areas exposed to floods on both banks of the Danube River in several cities, including the capital of the state of Upper Austria and the city of Scharding. , in which the level of the Danube River rose by a meter, and civil defense agencies expect the river’s water level to reach its peak during today, Tuesday.
