Heavy Rainfall Causes Significant Flooding in Bucharest
Bucharest experienced severe flooding on June 9, 2025, due to torrential rainfall. The downpour overwhelmed the city's drainage system, leading to water accumulation on major streets. The incident caused significant disruption to traffic, with cars and buses struggling to navigate the flooded roads.
"I've never seen anything like it," said one driver, whose car was partially submerged. "The water came up so quickly, I barely managed to get out." The video shows several cars driving through knee-deep water, their headlights illuminating the murky floodwaters. A city bus is also visible, stopped at a bus stop, apparently unable to continue its route due to the high water level.
City officials are assessing the damage and working to restore normal traffic flow. The incident serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of urban infrastructure to extreme weather events. The heavy rainfall caused disruptions, but thankfully there were no reported injuries.
