Between Friday 8am and Monday 8am it rained 161 liters per square meter. Our weatherman in town measured alone 40 liters on Sunday between 22:30 and 23:45. On average we get 92 liters in total in the entire May and 96 liters in June. It was a lot, but i didn’t think it was actually that much. Wow!

Down in the town a lot of houses have been flooded. The municipality provided containers for all the garbage. From what I read it was the smaller creek, not the larger river that went absolutely berserk.

do you guys in Germany normally measure rainfall in liters per square meter? here in Australia we normally just use a rain gauge and measure the number of millimeters of water collected in the rain cage as a protocol height.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, l/m² is very common here. But I’ve also seen mm.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Fair enough ! Something new I learned 😅
