Boris and Annette caused a flood in Europe, there are victims. Unusually heavy rains are falling in the Sahara
Boris hit central and eastern Europe, bringing strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. The storm also hit parts of Austria, Hungary and Slovakia. Active Mediterranean cyclone Annet brought heavy rain and thunderstorms to central and southeastern Europe at the end of the work week. The unusual downpour hit the Sahara, one of the driest regions on Earth. It is unclear why the desert is seeing so much rain, but it may be linked to a particularly quiet Atlantic hurricane season.
