Southern Poland is experiencing severe flooding due to continuous rainfall, leading to school closures and widespread evacuations. Many areas, including Kraków and Sandomierz, have seen levees break, resulting in significant damage and displacements. Although the situation is critical, the water levels in Warsaw are currently below warning levels, thanks to recently reinforced levees. Residents are advised to prepare for potential flooding by securing valuables and storing clean drinking water, as power outages may disrupt water supply. The community is closely monitoring the situation, with forecasts indicating that the flood wave may be lower than previously expected, but risks remain due to saturated levees. Overall, while some areas are still under threat, the immediate situation in Warsaw appears to be stabilizing.

As far as I can tell no traces of the Russian smog here.

At least I have not heard any reports and smelled no smoke lately. Not that I would be able to differentiate between Russian smoke and Polish smoke.

When there are forest fires in the province of Quebec, prevailing winds bring the smoke here, and you would swear that there was a forest fire near your house. It's pretty pungent.
