The 2009 European floods were a series of natural disasters that took place in June 2009 in Central Europe. Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Turkey were all affected. The heavy rains caused overflowing of the rivers Oder, Vistula, Elbe and Danube. At least 12 people were killed in the Czech Republic and one in Poland. The floods were the worst natural disaster in the Czech Republic since 2002, when floods killed 17 people and caused billions of dollars of damage in Prague.〔 Those same floodwaters from the Czech Republic also affected Germany, with Dresden being hit by its worst flooding for over a century and three thousand people evacuated from areas where water was said to be waist-deep. Austria also experienced its heaviest rainfalls in half a century.〔 ==Weather== June 2009 was one of the rainiest months of June for Austria since weather records have been kept.〔() 〕 After a very dry April,〔() 〕 May had already been wet,〔() 〕 and in the middle of June, low pressure areas and thunderstorms followed. ''Quinton Low'' ensured strong rainfall in the Eastern Alps, the southern Carpathians, and from the middle of the Balkan Peninsula to the Crimea and Baltic Sea regions between June 20 and June 30. It moved slowly over the Adriatic Sea toward the Black Sea forming an ''upper low'' – despite the typical muggy movement from the southeast and build-up of precipitation from the east and northeast, a classic flood situation that was missing the Genoa low of a ground low core. The Quinton Low formed from June 20–22, through constriction of an upper low over the Alps towards the southeast. An Atlantic infusion of cold air had brought heavy precipitation〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wetter : Wetterzentrale : Top Karten : Prognose - GFS Europa )〕 with snowfall down to elevations of 1500m. The separated upper low shifted over the mid-Adriatic on June 20 and 21 and the central Balkans on June 22.〔() 〕 Its front system, which was occluded from the east and then was guided to the northeast towards Central Europe, drove from June 22–24〔() 〕 from the Lower Inn Valley to the Vienna Basin with heavy precipitation of over 100mm/48h, with 207mm/48h in Lunz am See. Locally, this phase was similar to the 2005 European floods, although in that year there was a faster rise.〔 Starting on June 25, the low moved over the Black Sea. On June 25 and 26,〔() 〕 the precipitation was concentrated in the area around Belgrade and Southern Hungary. In Austria and the Czech Republic, the situation eased. On June 27 and 28,〔() 〕 a front moved towards Southern Poland and the Baltic states, and further precipitation-heavy air masses once again struck the Czech Republic, Austria, and Serbia, as well as Central Bulgaria and Moldova on June 29. The stable and stationary weather situation did not disintegrate until after June 29. However, the air mass over Central and Eastern Europe remained extremely moist and unstable such that heavy thunderstorms repeatedly drove further local floods in the following days. Local areas of heavy rain of up to 50mm in a few hours were recorded across Central Europe until the first two weeks of July. The end of the weather phase did not occur until the passing of the low ''Rainer'' over England and the North Sea and low ''Steffen'' over Southern Scandinavia,〔() 〕 which the slowly advancing weather system surrounded from July 3 to the 9th.
