Description
-
Depressions similar to the October 2024 DANA that caused floods in southeastern Spain are up to 7 mm/day (an increase of up to 15%) wetter over the Mediterranean coast of Spain in the present than they would have been in the past. Additionally, conditions are up to 4°C warmer in the present compared to the past, which favors the formation of thunderstorms over the Mediterranean basin during DANA events.
-
The October 2024 DANA was driven by very exceptional meteorological conditions.
-
We mostly ascribe the strengthened precipitation of the October 2024 DANA to human driven climate change and natural climate variability likely played a modest role.
