Flood damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently large parts of Germany are experiencing mild temperatures and heavy rains, which have led to plenty of flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today while making photos of the flooding situation here for a blog post, I adventurously attempted to cross a flooded area by going tree-to-tree. Somewhere along the way the phone slipped out of my pocket. Ultimately the search and rescue operation failed and I ended up coming home up soaked to my waste, minus my mobile phone.  What a way to start the Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy rains, flooding in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long ago, climate experts were blaming Germany\u2019s 2019-2022 drought on climate change. But now all the headlines are on flooding<\/a> as heavy rains have soaked much of Europe over the past weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been recording the amount of rainfall at my home since July 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So far this December we\u2019ve recorded 151 mm, the most since I started recording, and much rain is in the forecast over the coming days. This year, 2023, we\u2019ve seen 1088 mm so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer of 2022 was particularly dry, which led media to holler drought was \u201cthe new normal\u201d. Now we have the next \u201cnew normal\u201d: flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing everyone a relaxing Christmas!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: Donations to replace the phone would of course be very welcome. God bless, everybody!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
