From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the flash floods in Spain have been devastating. And, yes they have happened before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the BBC weatherman also claims that extreme rainfall events like these are becoming more common:<\/p>\n\n\n

As usual the BBC do not provide any evidence for such irresponsible claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rainfall data for Valencia, which was worst hit, provides no such evidence either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KNMI daily rainfall data shows categorically that extreme rainfall is neither more common or extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Spanish weather agency, rainfall peaked at about 200mm in the area, certainly not unprecedented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC say more fell up in the hills at Chiva, but that does not have a long term record, and inevitably rainfall will be much higher as the moist  air rises rapidly over the hills. In other words, chalk and cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not for the first time, the BBC are using human tragedy to push their increasingly hysterical climate agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
