On Monday, a precipitation zone is moving over Poland, coinciding with rising temperatures that contribute to the melting of snow cover, exacerbating local flooding conditions. In several areas, hydrological warnings of the first and second levels have been issued due to the sudden increase in water levels. Particularly, in the Kujawy-Pomeranian Voivodeship, firefighters were called for assistance 245 times from Sunday to Monday morning, largely in response to flooded roads, basements, and yards.

The situation has resulted in dangerous conditions on the roads, prompting reports of severe flooding on critical route No. 91, which connects Toruń to Gdańsk. Firefighters have been actively pumping water to clear affected areas, and there are local roads that may only be passable by emergency services. Reporter Mariusz Sidorkiewicz from TVN24 highlighted the urgency of the situation, noting that the volume of requests for assistance has increased significantly since the weekend, emphasizing the severe impact of the weather.

Additionally, encounters of extreme weather are becoming more frequent, with rain, sleet, and snow forecasted to mix, further complicating road safety and potentially leading to increased incidents as conditions worsen. Notably, an interview with the owner of a flooded second-hand furniture shop showcased the personal toll of the climatic crisis, underscoring how vulnerable local businesses are to such environmental challenges, suggesting a need for community support and preparation in facing these recurrent natural disasters.
