After a very hot and dry summer in the Languedoc, we've just had our first pisode cvenol, a severe rain event near the Mediterranean sea.

Nearly 350 mm (13.7 inches) of rain fell in St Hippolyte du Fort, Gard, in 12 hours.

The most intense rainfall rate was 58 mm (2.3 inches) per hour.

Needless to say, there is plenty of flooding throughout the region.

Storms like these are much more common with climate change - big challenges all around!

Broken by Dams, Sustained by Dams
