How slow warnings, poor defences left #Spain exposed to deadly floods


Source: reuters.com/business/environme…

I always find it particularly bitter when corrupt politicians are so lazy that they don't even care about human lives and prefer to blame others after the disaster in order to keep their lucrative office for which they are obviously unsuitable.

1. If you think #valencia is out of the woods, think again. The cut-off low that pulls humid air from over the meditteranean across the mountains north of Valencia is not done yet. In the coming 2 days the @kachelmannwetter multimodel ensemble predicts up to 177 mm of extra rain in the region of #castellon .

Not only #Spain but the entire #EU will have to have a difficult conversation on how we'll prepare us for #weather #disaster amplified by #ClimateChange

A thread.

A map of spain indicating the accumulated total precipitation for the period october 31 noon to november 2nd noon. At the bottom you see the colorscale ranging from white over blue to green, orange, red, purple and grey. On the map you see a streak of blue indicating 1 to 10 mm of rain from the south tip of spain and along the border with Portugal. Right above Valencia there's a zone where the color goes in concentric circles from blue on the outside to purple on the inside. It also shows a maximum estimated rainfall of 177 mm in the mountains north of Valencia right next to the coast.
