Arabia Weather - Specialists at the Arabia Weather Center are following the latest climatic changes witnessed by the European continent in the recent period, as large areas of the European continent are experiencing a rainy summer, but the nature of the weather conditions is characterized by extremely high instability, causing waves of floods in several regions, Especially in light of the continued passage of overhead waves that create atmospheric turbulence. But what is the relationship between climate change and the La Nina phenomenon?

 

A rainy summer and the European continent faces the challenge of climate change.

 

After conducting a study by Arab weather specialists, it was noted that the European continent, like other countries of the world, is witnessing major climate changes in the recent period, as the European continent was exposed to heat waves during which temperatures reached 40 degrees Celsius, and this coincided with the crossing of upper depressions at an unexpected time. It is common, which leads to the emergence of severe weather disturbances similar to those that occur in the transitional seasons such as autumn and spring as a result of the large temperature differences between the layers of the atmosphere, which activates ascending air currents and contributes to the construction of dense cumulus clouds that carry with them heavy rains and severe hailstorms of large sizes that cause damage to Public property.

 

Arabia Weather specialists confirmed that the European continent is indeed facing major challenges as a result of climate change, which leads to an increase in weather fluctuations and extreme natural phenomena such as floods, drought, and sea level rise. This challenge requires a joint response and sustained efforts from governments and communities to adapt to the negative impacts of climate change, reduce carbon emissions and preserve the environment and natural resources.

 

La Nina enhances extreme weather events on the European continent.

 

The meteorological specialists at the Arab Regional Weather Center said, after following the latest computer modeling outputs of the deviation of the temperature of water bodies from the averages, that the region located on the equator of the Pacific Ocean is witnessing a clear cooling of the water surface temperature, as it has decreased from its averages by an amount ranging between one and two degrees Celsius since. The month of May. This means that there is a new climate cycle prevailing in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, represented by the growing La Nina climate phenomenon that will continue during the coming months, including the summer months of this year.

 

Specialists pointed out that the La Nina phenomenon directly affects weather conditions in different regions around the world, including Europe. La Nina also causes changes in weather patterns and climate, increasing the likelihood of flooding in some European regions.

 

The main impact of La Nina on floods in Europe can be summarized in the following points:

 

1. An increase in heavy precipitation: La Nina may result in changes in the distribution of rain, which increases the amounts of heavy precipitation in some areas, and leads to a rise in water levels in rivers and streams, which increases the possibility of floods.

 

2. Changes in weather patterns: La Nina may cause changes in atmospheric pressure patterns and wind currents in the North Atlantic region, which affects the formation of weather systems and may increase the frequency of long and intense periods of rain.

 

3. High groundwater levels: Heavy rains associated with La Nina can increase groundwater levels in some areas, increasing the possibility of water infiltration and local flooding.

 

4. Regional impacts: La Nina floods can lead to widespread regional impacts, including human and material damage, and impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.

 

Overall, La Nina poses an additional challenge to flood management in Europe, as adapting to these extreme weather events requires strengthening preparedness and contingency plans, in addition to strengthening international cooperation in areas such as meteorological monitoring and risk management to more effectively address their impacts.
