A slow-moving storm system brought intense rain and flooding to southern Florida on June 11, 2024– an event so severe it should only occur every 500-1,000 years, meteorologists say.
This map shows total rain. Data are from @nasa’s IMERG product. go.nasa.gov/45mk0D8
ALT Map of total rainfall data, in centimeters, over southern Florida on June 11, 2024. Dark red colors show the highest rainfall, over 15 centimeters. Light blue shows rainfall rates between 0-3 centimeters. There are dark red splotches over Naples and Sarasota on Florida’s west coasts, as well as Miami on the east coast and out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Even if we phase out all oil, coal & gas by 2050, we still fail on holding the well-below 2°C limit, if we do not get nature back within safe planetary boundaries. We need a carbon law for Nature, and exponential roadmaps for nature climate solutions

In the U.S., heat kills more people in an average year than other weather extremes — more than torrential floods, tornadoes and cold snaps.
So what's causing California's worsening heat waves?
