I just read that on average we get about 108 liters of rain per square meter in July. This year it has only been 6 liters so far. I truly hope that we get some heavy rain later this evening. But looking at the forecast I reckon it will only be a few drops, if at all. It’s supposed to get less and less with each day and even hour I look at the weather report. :-( Terrible 35°C at the moment. Bwäh!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That seems like a lot? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net What’s a lot? @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m glad it rained much more in the end than I expected, but still a lot less than I was hoping for. Also the cooling was a couple of hours late. Today, we had the chance of breathing a wee bit before it will raise again tomorrow.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I dunno just ~100L/m^ just seemed like a shit tonne of water to me, but maybe it isn’t? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net 100 liters are one cubic meter, so that doesn’t sound too unrealistic in a whole month. Looking at the climate diagrams of Stuttgart and Ulm (they’re the closest cities where I could find data for in a hurry) it seems to be in the ballpark. Admittedly, this number matches June better than July.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Extreme heat, drought, fires - a hellish summer!
@ionores@twtxt.net Indeed! :-( The only good thing is that I haven’t heard of any fires yet over here. The fire danger rating reached the highest level we have here days ago. On Thursday when we dared to go for a hike we’ve seen new signs put up warning about that and banning all fires, even smoking. We do not have any fixed sign installations like Australia or the North American states.
