Current status: stormy.
My grandparents old barometer is mostly kept as a memnto, but it's definitely not wrong tonight, the wind is howling round the house and the rain is battering on the windows. #StormPia#Barometer#StormDK#Stormy
I updated my post from yesterday on @sternaparadisaea.net@sternaparadisaea.net with a very brief overview of some of the damage caused by the #StormSurge and how to think about these extreme weather events in the future.
Also, following a question I've added a bit of background as to why we would expect to see more hundred year floods, even if an individual flood is not "caused by" #ClimateChange (though it may well be somehow supercharged by it).
We are expecting a hundred year storm surge flood in southern Denmark this evening. It will be a good test of our flood defences...
Keep away from the coasts if you can, with gale force winds forecast also..
The incoming storm #Babet is likely to lead to very high water levels around Denmark over the next few days, particularly in the southern parts but also potentially affecting Copenhagen. Remember to check the prognosis from DMI if you're near the coast! #StormDK#CoastFlooding#FarligtVejr#stormflod#StilleStormflod#SeaLevelRise
