Weather Valencia - up to 700 l/m² in Turís

On October 29, a Cold Drop (spanish: DANA) caused extreme weather in parts of Spain, which led to a catastrophe, especially in the region around Valencia Capital. Currently, Saturday morning 10:00 a.m., 207 fatalities have been reported.

In the municipality of Turís (Valencia), it is clear how brutal this severe weather was. According to the official weather station of Aemet, the following amounts of rain were measured there on October 29, 2024. Accumulated precipitation 618 l/m². Since the measuring station was unable to record any data between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., Aemet calculated an additional 80 l/m², giving a total of 700 l/m². Now another incredible number: the maximum rainfall per hour was 179.4 l/m², the maximum rainfall in 10 minutes was an incredible 42 l/m². The 179.4 l/m² is an absolute historical record. Even higher than the 159.2 l/m² rainfall per hour measured in Vinaròs on October 19, 2018.

Statement meteo365.es: "Global warming is a fact! BUT: Not every extreme weather situation has to have a direct connection to climate change. And anyone who claims hours after the disaster, such as EU President von der Leyen, that climate change led to the Valencia disaster, is spreading hysterical propaganda. Whether and to what extent climate change had an influence here will be announced by the responsible scientists after evaluating the data in the coming weeks. This is not the first disaster in this region in the last 100 years. For example, October 14, 1957, there were at least 81 deaths here after the great flood.

We must take global warming, especially the warming of the oceans, seriously. But hysterical activism, populism and planned deindustrialization will not solve the problem."
