Flooded buildings, roofs down, trees down, more powerful storms in the future.

The article reports on recent severe weather conditions across Slovenia, including flooded buildings, exposed roofs, and uprooted trees, with possible new stronger storms. The weather system intensified over northern Italy and moved toward the southeast, affecting primarily the Upper Posavje region. According to data from the Slovenian Rescue Service Authority, the most significant issues were reported in the Gorizia area, where 24 incident reports were recorded by 6:45 AM. Other affected areas included Gorenje Vas, Poljane, Nakleg, Slovenj Gradec, Dravograd, Mislinje, and Prevalje. Firefighters and emergency units responded to these incidents, removing water from buildings, covering damaged roofs, and clearing fallen trees. The article also provides a weather forecast indicating potential for further rain showers and strong winds, particularly on the Primorska coast, with temperatures expected to range between 26 and 31 degrees Celsius during the day.

France has been hit by severe storms that claimed two lives and left more than 50,000 households without electricity. The powerful weather system struck late Thursday night, according to reports from foreign media. At least two people died, with over 50,000 homes losing power. Similar intense weather conditions were reported in Germany, where one person lost their life. In Saint-Victurnien, located in the central department of Haute-Vienne, a woman died after a tree fell on her. In Dolomieu, on the eastern part of the country, a man was found dead in a workshop fire. French media agency AFP reported that the area caught fire following a lightning strike. Meanwhile, the French electricity operator Enedis stated that over 53,000 households were left without power. The worst impacts were recorded in the regions of Auvergne-Rhône-Alps in southeastern France and Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. The National Meteorological Service of France, Meteo-France, later on Friday canceled the orange warning for all departments in southern-eastern France. Prior to this, it had warned of heavy hail and strong wind gusts across areas from the Central Massif to the Alps. According to Reuters, these weather conditions have caused widespread disruption. In Germany, similar severe weather affected several regions on the south coast. On Thursday evening and into the night, powerful storms with heavy rain and strong winds hit parts of southern Germany. In Karlsruhe, one person died after a tree fell on them, according to police reports. Over 250 calls were received by emergency services during the night, with parts of the city flooded due to heavy rainfall. Traffic lights and vehicles were damaged, prompting the declaration of exceptional circumstances to coordinate numerous urgent interventions. Emergency services in other parts of Germany also reported consequences of the storm. In Pforzheim, approximately 30 calls were registered due to the storm. In Ludwigsburg, around 70 incidents occurred involving fallen roof tiles and flooded cellars. In Besigheim, a lightning strike ignited a fire, resulting in minor injuries to several people. On the A8 motorway in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, six traffic accidents occurred due to heavy rain, with one person seriously injured and two others lightly injured, according to local police. Firefighters also responded in Saarbrücken, where over 50 incidents were reported due to heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning strikes. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts new storms with heavy rain, hail, and strong wind gusts for much of the country today. These ongoing weather disruptions continue to affect both countries, highlighting the severity of the recent atmospheric events.
