BERLIN At least 54 people have died due to severe flooding in Western Europe, caused by what experts described as the heaviest rainfall in a century.
Up to 70 people are missing in Germany after flash floods swept across western and southern parts of the country, causing buildings to collapse, police said Thursday. Germany is the worst hit with 49 people killed, while six people died in Belgium. Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also affected.
Unseasonably warm weather in the Bismarck region this week has become record heat, worsening tinder-dry conditions.
The temperature at the Bismarck airport on Wednesday rose to 62 degrees, breaking the March 3 record of 61 set almost a century ago in 1905, according to the National Weather Service.
Warm arm flowing from the Pacific and supplanting the arctic air that blanketed the state last month is causing the balmy conditions. Less than three weeks ago, Bismarck had a record-low temperature for Feb. 13 of minus 28 90 degrees colder than Wednesday s high.
The down side to the change in the weather pattern is that it hasn t been accompanied by precipitation.Â

It’s been a few months since Former WDIO Meteorologist Taylor Dayton handed the reigns of Good Morning Northland over to Meteorologist Brandon Weathers. But, he’s still playing around with the weather through his new website Playing With Rain.
Through the platform, Dayton offers family friendly experiments like how to light a bulb with a balloon, how to create a cloud in a bottle and much more.
Now, Dayton’s love for science can teach and inspire others.
