Is the latest rainfall event really unprescedented? Particularly interested
in whether there have been similar summer events in terms of both spatial
area of rainfall combined with magnitude of the rain. Media/ politicians are
too keen to add recent events to the GW bandwagon, conveniently ignoring the
point that with GW our summers are supposed to get drier, as far as I
understand it. I thought the extreme rain events would be autumn/winter
synoptic scale events such as those in 2000, not summer synoptic scale.
Attributing the latest events also to GW makes me increasingly lose faith in
the GW science.
