The Central-European record precipitation and floods in Central Europe at the end of July 1897
 Munzar, Jan ; Ondráček, Stanislav ; Elleder, L.
In 2007 we have commemorated the 10th anniversary of the natural disaster in July 1997, which affected a number of countries in Central Europe. In the Czech Republic it was the "flood of the century". A certain analogy was an extreme event which was recorded exactly a hundred years ago, in the summer of 1897, i.e. already before 110 years. While the then hitherto records of multiday total precipitation amounts were broken in July 1997, the 1-day amount of 345.1 mm measured on the Nová Louka station in the Jizerské hory Mts. on 29 July 1897 was not beaten. It is therefore the Czech -and most likely also at least the Central-European- record until there days. The extreme rains in the summer of 1897 resulted in high water which affected a considerable part of Central Europe. In the territory of the today’s Czech Republic the floods occurred namely in the Upper Labe (Elbe) R. Basin.
