[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1052146, member: 39702"] Germany? Pfff, that's nothing! Last month, the weather in Croatia was... to say wild would be an underestimation. We had extremely hot days (up to 40°C) and after a week, constant storms with hail. I'll never forget 19.07.; huge storm with heavy rainfall, somewhere with hail and obligatory wind gusts up to 120 km/h. It might be the strongest storm ever recorded in Northern Croatia and Slavonia. Or even in this part of the Balkans. When the wind started blowing, it really looked like tornado was coming. There was so much damage in the city that scars are still visible today. Storm made severe damage in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and then went to Serbia where it wreck havoc too. I never saw anything like that before. Ever since then, pretty much everyone follows radar images daily, and finally as of yesterday, we started getting warnings for extreme weather and other emergencies. This week, it's raining constantly. Massive floods in Slovenia; two thirds of the country is underwater. We sent help there because situation is very, very bad. Even here a lot of villages is flooded, but situation is nowhere near as bad as in Slovenia. Zagreb would be flooded too if authorities didn't redirect the flow of Sava by opening the channel. We're all just shocked. We expected that after really hot days, hail and storm would come (as it always does), but never expected so extreme weather. Anyway, now is around 17°C and relatively calm, but the new storm is forecasted for tomorrow. Meteoalarm is constanly on and changing colors every few hours. Weather started to be so unpredictable...
