West ofjeng—jo is causing concern. here 5 the bbc 5 china correspondent: the military is saying that at a nearby city, a major dorm could actually burst and that soldiers have been mobilised they are to blast around that time and in an attempt to divert floodwaters and take the pressure off the dam in the hope that what we are talking about already is a 20 metre fissure in the dam and it can avoid having that time being burst. . while efforts are focussed on preventing further devastation, people are already asking what 5 behind the extreme weather conditions. here 5 what one scientist had t...

Extremes that we saw gripping the pacific northwest over recent weeks. those heat extremes can parch soils, dry out vegetation, lead to the perfect conditions for wildfires and unfortunately very prolonged droughts which are incredibly damaging across many regions of the world. a warming atmosphere is also able to hold more moisture. and that is something that is definitively linked to rising greenhouse gases in the science. that is directly related to the types of extreme rainfall events that we've seen historically over recent years. and of course is very much the topic of conversation with ...

Happening more frequently. in a warmer world, the atmosphere can hold more moisture and, of course, as there is more water, more moisture in the atmosphere, rainfall events can become more extreme, so we've seen before that extreme rainfall events can become more frequent because of climate change. here in the netherlands, this part of lindberg province is now officially classified as a disaster zone, which means the government will offer financial support to those who have lost almost everything. here in valkenburg they're battling to salvage everything that hasn't already been lost to the fl...

Linked to the jet stream and that is the pattern we had, undulating jet stream, a slow—moving cut of area of low pressure across germany which just developed the ring and kept it going. that area of low pressure also tapped into some temperature contrasts that we have seen across europe, drawing on some warm and muqqy europe, drawing on some warm and muggy airfrom the europe, drawing on some warm and muggy air from the mediterranean. now to the climate question, the physics says that warmer air is going to hold more moisture that means more rain and we will find more extreme rainfall events....

Harvey, and four years in a row, historic rainfall events. and this one, you know, obviously, if it was over houston, it would have been, you know, a multibillion dollar weather disaster but for the small towns it did hit, it was significantly less, with the mark of hundreds of homes flooded. this area of pink is 20 inches plus. usually we get one spot on a map with totals like this but this is a huge footprint and the highest total was 43 inches. that makes it the seventh wettest cyclone we've had in recorded history and it makes it the fourth wettest ever in texas. texas has done this before...
