In 48 hours the total precipitation can reach about 100 liters per square metre, especially in the mountains, which is half the amount of rain that usually falls throughout July.

In addition to the fact that it will be heavy and continuous rain (…) with breaks lasting more than a day, there will also be storm clouds embedded in this rain area. (…]Then there is the risk of periodic flooding or localized flooding – warned Thomas Wasilewski on TVN24. “It looks very scary on the weather maps,” he said.
