Precipitation in Northern Bohemia breaks records

Precipitation in Northern Bohemia for 2010 looks set to break a record of nearly 30 years. According to the Czech Meteorological Institute, precipitation in the town of Liberec has already exceeded anything they have on record, with more than 1,100 litres of water per square metre having fallen so far this year, or as much as in the wettest year since 1939. July, August and September all were record-breaking months, bringing flooding and billions of crowns in damages.
