Increasing probability of record-shattering precipitation Higher precipitation variability in a warming climate amplifies the probability of record-shattering extreme precipitation as shown in our new study led by Iris de Vries.

Here is, where we used to have lunch during European Geosciences Union from #EGU05 to #EGU24, talking about heavy precipitation and flooding in a warming climate for nearly two decades...

Ice melting at Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletschgletscher, continues. No relief for #glaciers... 4 meters of ice loss over the thickest ice of the European Alps in the year 2024 😢 Stay posted for the publication of our results on 1 Oct GLAMOS VAW Glaciology SCNAT

Let us hope that these forecasts turn out to be wrong. If not, Southern Italy may be next in facing extreme precipitation amounts. meteologix.com/uk/model-chart…

The current large-scale flow causing extreme rainfall in France and in coming hours in Italy looks remarkably similar to the 2023 September spatially compound extremes shifted few hundreds kilometer eastwards. September 2023 cause floods over Portugal/Spain and Greece/Lybia.

The scale of the flooding currently unfolding in Valencia, Spain is unfathomable. This is footage from Chiva, where a jaw-dropping 343 mm of rain was recorded in just 4 hours earlier today, between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM. Video credit: Nalabcer

Preliminary comparison of the large-scale weather situation during the 1957 Valencia flood (left) and conditions yesterday (right). Remarkably similar but now happening in a warmer and moister atmosphere. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957_Vale…
