An ‘extraordinary’ delugeSpain’s Mediterranean coast is used to autumn storms that can cause flooding, but this was the most powerful flash flood in recent memory. Scientists link it to climate change, which is also behind increasingly high temperatures and droughts in Spain and the heating up of the Mediterranean Sea.
Human-caused climate change has
doubled the likelihood of a storm like this week’s deluge in Valencia, according to a rapid but partial analysis Thursday by World Weather Attribution, comprising
dozens of international scientists who study global warming’s role in extreme weather.
Spain has suffered through an almost two-year drought, meaning that when the deluge happened, the ground was so hard that it could not absorb the rain, leading to flash floods.
The violent weather event
surprised regional government officials. Spain’s national weather service said
it rained more in eight hours in the Valencian town of Chiva than it had in the preceding 20 months.https://apnews.com/article/flash-floods-spain-valencia-climate-change-30c6ef59ddf27598c691c89d0ba41442>>[man-made]two-year drought
