Human-induced climate change amplification on storm dynamics in Valencia’s 2024 catastrophic flash flood - Nature Communications This study reveals how climate change altered storm dynamics during the 2024 Valencia floods. Warmer seas fueled stronger updrafts, increasing rainfall intensity by 20% and significantly amplifying flood severity.

Human‑induced climate change may have intensified the mechanisms behind the 2024 flash floods in Valencia, Spain, according to a modelling study published in Nature Communications. 🧪

Emerging Links between Droughts, Heatwaves and Extreme Precipitation in a Western Mediterranean Hotspot: Evidence of Intensifying Compound and Sequential Hazards - Earth Systems and Environment Extreme climate hazards can occur in isolation or interact as concurrent or compound events, amplifying their impacts. In the Mediterranean basin these interactions pose significant risks and result i...

Highlights
1. Increasing concurrence of climate hazards in the Mediterranean
2. Atmosphere–ocean interactions amplify extremes through air–SST feedbacks.
3. SST anomalies as precursors of extreme precipitation events.
4.Droughts, heatwaves, and wind conditions drive large forest fires.

🌍El #cambioclimático agravó los efectos de la #dana de Valencia

🔬Un estudio con participación del #CSIC evalúa por primera vez su impacto en la dinámica interna de la tormenta

🔎Intensificó un 20% las lluvias y amplió un 55% la zona afectada

Our colleague Laura Paredes-Fortuny succesfully defended her doctoral thesis "Heatwaves over the Mediterranean region under climate change: characteristics, trends and impacts"

Congratulations Laura, we all hope today marks a beginning of a long and successfull research career.

Portugal and Spain are looking at tremendous precipitation from an onslaught of atmospheric rivers over the next 14-days. Flooding will certainly be a very real threat if these numbers materialize.

Mean Mediterranean SST anomaly around 1ºC in the last days.

The Mediterranean Basin is a global hotspot. Southern Europe & Western Asia show the highest mortality burden from hot nights. #Mediterranean #HeatRisk

🌡️ New global study: hot nights increase mortality risk — independently of daytime heat. 178 cities, 44 countries, 14M+ deaths analyzed.

Our new study published in Environment Int and led by Carmen Iñiguez and myself from the MCC Research Network.

🆕Las olas de calor marinas mediterráneas, cada vez más intensas y frecuentes, se intensifican cuando coinciden con una ola de calor atmosférica

Why MHWs intensify

Through analysis of energy flows sea-atmosphere it was found that, during concurrence, sea-atmos latent heat flow decreases considerably. This favours heat accumulation in the ocean, thereby increasing sea surface temperature and MHW intensity.
