German meteorologist Dominik Jying warns on the online platform wetter.net about hurricanes and waterfalls in the south of Italy, Greece and Turkey. In places it expects rainfall from 150 to 250 liters per square meter: "These are extreme weather phenomena. "Expected floods could even threaten lives."
While many in Germany enjoy the first cold days of autumn knowing that the weather will improve and that temperatures will rise again, extreme weather is prevalent in southern Europe these days. The German expert warns of strong storms, but also in places hurricanes, which may cause great material damage.
Summer in Central Europe, extreme events in the south
Dominique Jung estimates that the extreme weather phenomena in the European south and Turkey will continue in the following days: "From Italy to Greece and from Crete to Turkey, a barometric low causes extreme weather phenomena. "Hurricanes and water pipes may occur." In addition, it expects heavy rainfall and warns mainly travelers, who are preparing to leave for abroad or are already in countries such as Greece to be informed in detail about the weather conditions prevailing in their destination or place of stay.
The meteorologist even explains that the difficult weather conditions in the southern part of Europe are connected with the summer in October in central Europe: "In our region we have stable barometric highs and in the south of Europe and the Mediterranean region the barometric lows reach from the Atlantic.
More hurricanes in Europe
In late September, a hurricane struck off the coast of Tuscany in Italy. Reaching speeds of 140 km, strong winds caused floods and extensive power outages. At the same time, a hurricane hit the northwestern German city of Kiel from one moment to the next.
As for Germany, Dominique Jung predicts better weather in the coming days, referring to a "golden autumn" with sunshine and relatively high temperatures for the season. At night, however, in places the temperatures will fall below the limit of 5 degrees without excluding even frost.
