Between 13 and 18 May 2014, a low-pressure
cyclone designated
Tamara and
Yvette, affected a large area of
Southeastern and
Central Europe, causing floods and landslides.
Serbia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered the greatest damage, as the rain was the heaviest in 120 years of recorded weather measurements. By 20 May, at least 62 people had died as a result of the flooding, and hundreds of thousands had been forced from their homes. Towns of
Obrenovac in Serbia and
Doboj in Bosnia and Herzegovina account for most victims, after being inundated by waters several meters high from nearby rivers.
