Another night of torrential rain across central Europe has forced massive evacuations in the hardest hit areas in the Czech Republic, where floods reached extreme levels on Sunday.

Meteorologists have warned the situation might get worse yet as waters in most rivers are rising, the flood wave makes its way through the country, and more heavy rain could return overnight.
