An increasingly common intersection for scientists researching #ExtremeRain is when it intersects with the personal:
#ClimateChange plus aging infrastructure ate my #bike lane #bikeNYC
And it has been an underfunded and not yet complete saga - bringing it back

More rain forecast after #StormBert hits UK
by David Mercer, Ian Aikman & BBC Weather
November 25, 2024
"More rain is due to fall in the coming hours and into Wednesday in southern England and south Wales, where flooding and high winds from Storm Bert have caused major disruption to homes, roads and rail networks.
"At least five people have died in the storm that struck much of the UK over the weekend and prompted criticism about a lack of preparation and insufficient warnings.
"The severe flood warning for the River Nene in Northamptonshire remains in force with a "danger to life and risk of significant disruption", as a holiday park has been submerged for the third time this year.
"Environment Secretary Steve Reed said more flooding was likely this week but it should be 'less severe' than on Sunday."

#Málaga evacuates thousands as #Spain issues more #FloodAlerts
by Nick Beake and Thomas Mackintosh
"Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in the #CostaDelSol region of southern Spain as #ExtremeRain and #flooding drenches the area.
"National weather office Aemet has placed both Malaga and the northeastern #Catalonia region on the highest alert for strong rain expected to last until Friday.
"The Malaga area, including the tourist resorts of Marbella, Velez and Estepona, is expected to take the brunt of the extreme weather phenomenon known as a '#Dana'.
"Parts of the eastern Valencia area have also been placed on the highest alert, weeks after the area was devastated by flash floods that killed more than 220 people.
"Several other regions in Spain remain braced for more heavy showers and low temperatures.
"Up to 180mm of rain could fall in #Catalonia in north-eastern Spain in just 12 hours, accompanied by thunderstorms along the coast near Tarragona, forecasters say.
"Schools in the entire southern province of Málaga have been closed while many supermarkets have kept shutters down.
"Footage circulating on social media showed the city's normally busy areas deserted as water flooded the streets.
"Around 3,000 people living in close proximity to the #Guadalhorce River have been told to leave their homes, the Regional Government of #Andalusia has said."

#Florida residents over 100 miles from #HurricaneMilton’s landfall faced a different threat: 3 #tornadoes in less than 25 minutes
Story by Alisha Ebrahimji, Paul P. Murphy and Mary Gilbert, CNN
October 10, 2024
"Milton, the third hurricane to hit Florida this year, dumped about 16 inches of #rain on #SaintPetersburg, a more than a 1-in-1000 year rainfall event for the area, according to the National Hurricane Center.
"But residents in St. Lucie County faced an entirely different threat: fatal tornadoes that were 'supercharged' compared to typical hurricane-spawned tornadoes, National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan told CNN Thursday. The tornadoes killed five people, according to county officials.
"Video from the moment one of the tornadoes fiercely and quickly ravaged through the area shows intense winds hurling large chunks of debris through the air in several directions as the sky turns from a light gray color to an intense fog within 50 seconds.
"Officials say some of the hardest hit areas include Spanish Lakes Country Club Village, a retirement community, Portofino Shores, Holiday Pines, Lakewood Park, South Florida Logistics Center 95 and Sunnier Palms Park and Campground.
"'Their whole homes with them inside were lifted up, moved, destroyed,' St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson said."

#Contamination warnings issued for 5 #MaineBeaches heading into Labor Day weekend
John Terhune, Portland Press Herald, Maine
September 1, 2023
"Contaminated waters could hinder #beach adventures from York to Camden this Labor Day weekend.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued contamination warnings for five Maine beaches after finding elevated levels of #fecalbacteria.
"The affected beaches are #WillardBeach in #SouthPortland, #GooseRocksBeach in #Kennebunkport, #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunk, #CapeNeddickBeach in #YorkMaine and #LaiteBeach in #CamdenMaine. Total beach closures are rare in Maine, and as of Friday night all five affected beaches remained open.
"The presence of enterococci bacteria suggests water also may contain other harmful bacteria, #viruses or #parasites, according to the DEP's Maine Healthy Beaches program, which tracks water quality at public beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Contact with contaminated water can cause flu-like symptoms, #gastrointestinal issues, rashes and #infection.
"Beachgoers are advised to avoid areas with contamination warnings.
"Laite Beach in Camden, which had more than 26 times more fecal bacteria than the threshold deemed safe, was the most contaminated beach on Friday night, according to DEP data."

Group warns of potentially polluted water identified at #MaineBeaches
Maine Public | By Caty DuDevoir
Published July 11, 2023 at 2:39 PM EDT
"Thirty-six beaches in Maine were considered potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one day of #bacteria testing in 2022, according to a recent report.
"Sewage overflows and runoff pollution contaminated the waters surrounding multiple popular swimming spots such as #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunkport and #FerryBeach in #Scarborough.
"John Rumpler is the clean water director at the Environment Maine Research & Policy Center who co-authored the report.
"When we pave over everything with #ParkingLots, #StripMalls and big #roadways, that water has nowhere to go, so it sweeps up all the #pollution on the surface and pulls it right into nearby #rivers, #streams, and #coastalwaters, or overwhelms our combined sewage systems,' Rumpler says.
"Rumpler says that preserving the state's #wetlands can restore and expand the land's natural capacity to absorb rain water, and continuing to repair #sewage #infrastructure across the state is a step in the right direction.
"With the heavy precipitation these last few weeks, Rumpler is worried that pollution levels may be higher.
"Beach water quality updates can be found on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection website."

"Our study confirms that the intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall extremes are increasing exponentially with every increment of global warming," said Max Kotz, lead author of a paper published in the Journal of Climate: Constraining the pattern and magnitude of projected extreme precipitation change in a multi-model ensemble

AMETSOC · Constraining the pattern and magnitude of projected extreme precipitation change in a multi-model ensembleAbstract Projections of precipitation extremes over land are crucial for socioeconomic risk assessments, yet model discrepancies limit their application. Here we use a pattern-filtering technique to identify low-frequency changes in individual members of a multi-model ensemble, to assess discrepancies across models in the projected pattern and magnitude of change. Specifically, we apply low-frequency component analysis (LFCA) to the intensity and frequency of daily precipitation extremes over land in 21 CMIP-6 models. LFCA brings modest but statistically significant improvements in the agreement between models in the spatial pattern of projected change, particularly in scenarios with weak greenhouse forcing. Moreover, we show that LFCA facilitates a robust identification of the rates at which increasing precipitation extremes scale with global temperature change within individual ensemble members. While these rates approximately match expectations from the Clausius-Clapeyron relation on average across models, individual models exhibit considerable and significant differences. Monte-Carlo simulations indicate that these differences contribute to uncertainty in the magnitude of projected change at least as much as differences in the climate sensitivity. Finally, we compare these scaling rates to those identified from observational products, demonstrating that virtually all climate models significantly underestimate the rates at which increases in precipitation extremes have scaled with global temperatures historically. Constraining projections with observations therefore amplifies the projected intensification of precipitation extremes as well as reducing the relative error of their distribution.
