Severe rain and flooding warnings were issued across multiple European regions on Sunday, with authorities in Ireland and Greece activating orange-level alerts for heavy downpours and storm conditions.

In Ireland, Met Éireann’s status orange rain warning took effect at 6 a.m. for six counties—Cork, Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford and Wicklow—after being announced at 1 a.m. The agency warned of “very heavy” thundery rain, potential flooding, poor visibility and difficult travel conditions, with the alert set to lift at 10 a.m. Cork was added to the warning early Sunday. Met Éireann also cautioned that spring tides, storm surge and strong onshore winds could cause wave overtopping along southern and southeastern coastlines .

In Greece, the National Meteorological Service updated its emergency weather bulletin, maintaining an orange warning for Sunday as heavy rain, thunderstorms and gale-force winds were forecast. The most intense phenomena were expected in eastern and southern regions, including Evia—where heavy rainfall was projected to continue until the afternoon—as well as Magnesia in Thessaly, the Sporades islands, western Crete and the western Cyclades. Winds in the central and northern Aegean were forecast to reach 7 to 8 Beaufort, disrupting maritime transport .

In Finland, flooding was reported in Järvenpää after heavy rain on Saturday evening, with water overwhelming drainage systems and forcing the closure of the Saunakallio train station underpass due to safety concerns. Emergency services confirmed multiple calls related to the flooding, though conditions were easing by Sunday .

Oblíbená náplavka v Brně čeká na doplnění mobiliáře. Lidem chybí stojany na kola nebo jasné značení Markýzy, stojany na kola a zeleň. To jsou věci, které postrádají provozovatelé kaváren na brněnské náplavce u řeky Svratky. Ta se otevřela letos na jaře, podniky na začátku července. Náplavka se stala oblíbeným místem procházek i vyjížděk na kole, vede po ní stezka pro pěší a cyklisty. Někteří si ale stěžují na nejasné značení. Magistrát plánuje obnovu piktogramů na chodnících a městská část Brno-střed doplnění mobiliáře.
