The storm brought problems across European countries, and meteorologists indicate the direction in which it will move further.
As the BBC writes, more rain was expected yesterday in Austria, the Czech Republic and south-eastern Germany, where around 100 mm could fall.
The weather in Central Europe is expected to improve from mid-week with much drier conditions.
Storm Boris will move further south into Italy where it will strengthen again and bring heavy rain. The Emilia-Romagna region will be the hardest hit, with 100-150mm of rain.
The record rainfall recorded in Central Europe is caused by a number of factors, including climate change. Various weather elements combined to create a “perfect storm” where very cold air from the Arctic met warm air from the Mediterranean.
The atmospheric pressure pattern also meant that Storm Boris was “stuck” in one place for a long time.
Scientists say the warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to more intense rainfall. Warmer oceans also lead to more evaporation, feeding storm systems. For every one degree increase in global average temperature, the atmosphere can hold about seven percent more moisture.
