Seine River that flows through the city overflowed and flooded its streets and tube stations. The same thing has said to have happened back in May 2016 as well. In the last three days of January this year, 232 to 385 millimeter rain was recorded in Paris and so river Seine overflowed and its water entered into the city.
It’s not just Paris, the conditions are said to be the same as to wherever excess rainfall is being recorded around the globe. The heavy rains flooded the areas in every city, even if they happen to be developed cities like London, New York or Paris.
