In southern Austria and Slovenia, heavy rainfall has led to flooding and mudslides.
The road connections to some towns in the province of Carinthia were interrupted.
According to local media reports, at least three people have died in Slovenia.
The district of Völkermarkt in the Austrian state of Carinthia was particularly affected. The local authorities in Austria called on people to only make necessary trips with their cars. In view of the water masses, the help of the Austrian army was requested.
