Wacky Weather: Flooding in Europe

A blocking high pressure system in Northern Europe has sent low pressure after low pressure to southern Germany and Austria. These low pressures have dropped so much rain over central Europe that the Danube river in Germany has crested over it's banks and has reached a flood level that has not been reach since the 1500's. Talk about your one hundred year floods. Below is a picture of Danube river in Deggendorf, Germany from Friday the 7th.

So you may be thinking to yourself, "I feel like these "one hundred year floods happen all the time!". Well you aren't the only one thinking this, Scientist are calling it the "New Climate".
