The Charles Storm has caused severe weather on the Iberian Peninsula this week, particularly hitting Portugal and the southernmost part of Spain, while later moved toward southern France and northern Italy.
The thick clouds of rain and the strong southwest winds first struck the Portuguese island of Madeira before the storm moved toward the mainland on November 11th.
The effects of bad weather were also felt in air traffic. In Lisbon, 183 flights were canceled on Wednesday, about a third of the usual daily traffic, while 155 aluminators were registered at the Barayas Airport in Madrid.
In addition to widespread flooding in Spain and Portugal, the storm caused problems in southern France. In some parts of Cannes, there were significant floods that in some cases caused rocks to collapse and forced authorities to close roads along the French Renaissance.
Meanwhile, the Italian meteorological service issued red warning of rainfall, the highest alert level, for the area extending from Toscana to Venice.
According to recent forecast models, further heavy rainfall is expected to include Italy and the Balkans over the coming days. In many areas, up to 60 inches [100 mm] of additional rainfall can be collected, while in the mountainous areas, quantities can reach about 200 millimeters.
Meanwhile, successive rainfall and strong winds have caused floods, landslides, and road stops throughout British Columbia in Canada during the past week.
