Words: "Climate change is intensifying the water cycle. This brings more intense rainfall and associated flooding" (IPCC) Pictures: "A woman looks out from her balcony as vehicles are trapped in the street after flooding in Valencia" (AP/Alberto Saiz)

Really like this framing from Prof. Ana Camarasa-Belmonte of rainfall events in Eastern Spain becoming less of a resource and more of a risk: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

You can see in this video why flash floods are likened to inland tsunamis. Even with a warning it is difficult to get out of the way in time. The danger also comes from the amount of debris carried in the flow. Extreme rainfall can cause these walls of water. #Valencia

Rafael Navarro, veí de Xiva, va gravar des de la finestra de sa casa, la vesprada del 29 d’octubre, com augmentava el cabal de la rambla de Poio durant, aproximadament, quatre hores. 🔴 Segueix el minut a minut: web.apunt.es/pluges29oct

Hem preparat un mapa de la conca de la Rambla del Poyo i les pluges caigudes el 29 d'octubre. La riuada a l'Horta Sud va tindre un cabal molt superior a eixos 2.284 m3/s que va registrar l'aforament perquè aigües avall la rambla va arreplegar molta més aigua d'altres barrancs.

Great thread (for weather nerds at least) on rainfall observations from Valencia floods last week. I'd be interested to know how far back the sub-daily measurements go.

Watch how #PepitoPH #ManYi is deflected by its landfall on Catanduanes island. If the forecast model gets the track of the cyclone slightly wrong, the deflection looks quite different.

The landfall of #CycloneChido in Mozambique as a Cat4-equivalent storm was well forecasted, providing Cruz Vermelha de Moçambique - CVM sufficient time to support vulnerable communities with anticipatory actions.

An interesting/worrying forecast for the South West Indian Ocean, with another tropical cyclone on the way. ECMWF IFS: growing likelihood of the cyclone making 2nd landfall in MDG. AI models: storm staying out in Moz channel, or even landfall in MOZ charts.ecmwf.int/products/cyclo…
