Austria is gradually emerging from a period of intense rainfall that has caused significant flooding, particularly in the eastern regions.

Since last Thursday, the area has experienced rainfall amounts two to five times higher than the average for an entire September.

The heavy rains have led to record-breaking water levels in many areas, with some regions receiving up to 400 liters per square meter.

However, relief is on the horizon as meteorologists predict a decrease in rainfall starting Tuesday, with no significant rain expected through the weekend.

Despite this, the aftermath of the floods remains critical, especially in Lower Austria, where authorities warn of potential dam breaches.

The situation is further complicated by snowmelt, which could delay the normalization of river levels.

In Vienna, the worst seems to be over, with water levels in the Wien River and Danube Canal stabilizing.

As the weather improves, the focus shifts to recovery and assessing the damage caused by this extreme weather event.
