On August 16, local time, heavy rain fell suddenly in Paris, the capital of France, causing some roads to be flooded and many subway stations flooded.
The extreme drought this summer has caused the ground to become harder, and most of the rainwater cannot be absorbed by the soil, but spills into rivers and roads.
That night, the weather station on the Eiffel Tower recorded winds of up to 104 kilometers per hour.
Due to heavy rainfall, the water level of the Seine has risen by 35 cm.
The French meteorological service said the storm is now moving east and is likely to be accompanied by heavy rainfall, which could reach 8 cm in short periods of time in some places.
The French government is also urging people to delay travel plans as much as possible, avoid waterways and avoid rain under trees.
