      London doesn’t actually get much rainfall; it just rains often in small quantities. Paris gets more rainfall.

      Same, 5th storm in 3 weeks in Portugal

      We’re running through the alphabet together with you guys.

      From Ingrid to Marta (today).

      I miss the Sun … really,  can’t anyone please move those damn clouds up north? I’ve never seen so much rain in Madrid ever.

      The rain from the last days have been so intense that the town has been evacusted (first they were moved to a resort nearby, that had to be evacuated later).

      The town sits on top of a karstic mountain, full of caves. The caves have been inundated and the water pressure is provoking earthquakes that can bring down houses.

      There were images these days of water coming out of electric plugs in Grazalema.

      I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

      Grazalema was evacuated earlier this week to rota for at least a week. I hope all of the sheep are ok 🙁

      So much rain this year. I live in Cadiz and since Jan 1 we’ve received 266 mm of rain. And the wind too. I’ve 3 trees get blown over at my house.

      That is a bullshit AI generated image. No actual water on the surface the falls allegedly come from. Do better.

      Yeah we’re getting drowned here in Ireland. I like to think we’re used to rain but its honestly depressing at the moment here 🫠

      That slope is waaay too steep. If it’s raining a lot it will saturate the soil and cause landslides. If the slope is bigger or lesser than 45 degrees it’ll slide eventually. Heavy rain is one cause to this. I hope your city is doing proper inspections.

      Andalusia is an odd place, its both the wettest and driest place in Spain!

      Theres relic cloud/rain forest above Cadiz then 6 hours drive is desert in taberno

      This Winter seems to be one of the rainiest recorded in all western and southern half of Iberia, but Grazalema and surrounding areas is a very special case, one of the rainiest places in southern or entire Europe in a normal year, but has been specially crazy last months:

      – 3120 mm since past October (meterological year starts in October in Spain).

      – Over 2200 mm just in first 38 days of 2026. That’s more than 90% of Ireland or Scotland during an entire year, but just in 7 weeks. Very close to the yearly average of Bergen, rainiest city in Europe.

      – Over 500 mm in 24 hours.

      – Close to 900 mm in 48 hours.

      Grazalema gets about 1800 mm of rainfall per year, about 2000 in a good year (as previous one), but this year if rains just as much as usual for the next months, it will surpass easily 3600-3700mm and it’s very likely it will surpass the 4000mm mark, close to the absolute local record for the area (dubious and for the 1960s), we will see.

      I’m Portuguese and I’m curious as to how this will affect the water levels through the year, even while knowing too much rain in a small timeframe isn’t great at all.

      Better to get all the rain in 2 weeks than spread out over the whole year, smart thinking.

      More useful number: how many times more rain than usually in Grazalema? Comparing two different places says nothing if that is normal or not.

      4th Feb was the second rainiest day in all of Spain, according to [this article](https://www.lavanguardia.com/local/andalucia/20260206/11459758/grazalema-sufrio-segundo-dia-mas-lluvioso-hay-datos.html). That day it rained 577 liters per m².

      And an article from 2022 states: [When it rains cats and dogs in Grazalema](https://www.diariodecadiz.es/sierra/llueve-cantaros-Grazalema_0_1748226740.html).

      The [heavy rains in 2024 in Valencia](https://www.climatecentre.org/14707/spain-in-one-town-in-one-day-nearly-a-years-worth-of-rain/) had more than 300 liters per m² per day.

      London doesn’t get a lot of rainfall, it is a fraction of wetter areas of the UK, But that is still a lot of water even for a wet area of most European countries being dumped in a short time. Catastrophic flooding is becoming way too common
