Luxembourg is known for its mild and rainy climate, but this winter has been exceptionally wet and humid.
According to the meteorological service, in January and February Luxembourg has received up to 80% more rainfall than the average for this period. This has caused several rivers to overflow their banks, flooding roads, fields, and houses.
The most affected areas are the valleys of the Moselle, the Sûre, and the Our, which form the border with Germany. These rivers have reached their highest levels in decades. The situation is especially critical in the towns of Echternach, Wasserbillig, and Rosport.
The photo below shows the situation in Walferdange a city to the north of the capital that is crossed by the Alzette river.
