In Wroclaw, western Poland, some roads have become impassable.
In eastern Germany, the heavy downpours caused the land to become saturated and unstable.
This triggered a mudslide in Meissen, eastern Germany.
In some parts of the city roads were destroyed and elsewhere they were littered with debris.
In southeast Norway, the rain combined with melting snow, causing the River Trysilelva to overflow. Roads were only passable by canoe.
