Welcome to the era of chaotic weather.
All previous climate norms are now over.
We are in uncharted territory.
Only the beginning too. Imagine how bad shit will be in 10 or 20 years. 30-50 years will be completely fucked.
Chaotic eras always follow stable eras sooner or later.
Down voters didn’t read the book and missed the joke.
Everything is fine.
Wasn’t Greece just on fire? Was the rain at least over the burning portion or is it now burning and flooding at the same time?
If it was - Forrest fires apparently make the ground hydrophobic in addition to burning away all of the ground cover. This can make flooding in those areas much worse.
This then washes away soil and makes it even harder for trees etc to grow back.
Wildfires lead to worse flooding as the plants no longer absorb water and the ash is hydrophobic increasing runoff
Mmmmm, better round up some immigrants, it’s gotta be their fault.
Sadly, I’m 100% sure some people actually think that.
This just happened a few days ago there and was reported in an arricle. Some dudes were going around arresting and beating immigrants and blaming them for the fires. They recorded themselves and posted it online.
My goodness! Zagora, Greece recorded a jaw-dropping 528 mm (21 inches) of rain in just 10 hours - an additional 300-500 mm, locally up to 600 mm, of rain could fall by Thursday. A historic flooding event is underway!
Good use of metric, mm is much better than cm.
mm is the common unit used to measure rainfall.
Also an additional 300-500cm of rain sounds terrifying.
Atlantis levels of rain
I’m sure after 100cm or so, it doesn’t even matter anymore.
Everyone knows you shouldn’t put out a Greece fire with water
