Climate scientists and meteorologists have blamed the flooding on something called a \u2018cut-off low pressure storm system\u2019 that had migrated from an unusually wavy, stalled jet stream. This system then got stuck over the region, pouring down a year\u2019s worth of rain in eight hours.<\/p>\n<p>It is a natural weather event that usually hits Spain in Autumn and Winter. This phenomenon is so common it has its own acronym, a DANA or Depresion Aislada en Niveles Altos. Unusually warm sea surface temperatures, made much more likely by human-caused climate change, and our warming atmosphere, however, directly impact how much rain these storms can hold.<\/p>\n<p>Local authorities have been criticised for failing to issue timely warnings about the potential dangers of the storm. Valencia\u2019s government has admitted it only sent out text messages warning residents of the catastrophe eight hours after floods were first reported and 10 hours after AEMET issued a warning about \u201cextreme danger\u201d in the region. This brief message sent just after 8pm on Tuesday came too late for many who were already trapped in their homes, in shops or in their cars on the streets as the deadly flooding hit. Hannah Cloke, a hydrology professor at the University of Reading, says it is \u201cappalling\u201d to see so many people dying in floods in Europe when forecasters had predicted extreme rainfall and issued warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/31\/why-was-valencia-flooding-so-deadly-did-warning-texts-come-too-late-and-whats-the-climate-\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-624\/\">Why was Valencia flooding so deadly, did warning texts come too late and what\u2019s the climate link?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[612,575,896,1102],"class_list":["post-135050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-flood","tag-spain"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
