There are a lot of floods and swift waterfalls in Death Valley. Is the climate getting worse?

There are massive floods and swift waterfalls in Death Valley. Many netizens feel that the climate is getting more and more strange when they see this news, because unprecedented weather has appeared in many areas. Since 2022, there have been many extreme weather in various regions, which has also triggered people's thinking. Has our natural environment been deteriorating? This picture of Death Valley also makes netizens feel incredible, because it has been called the driest place before, so we have never seen such a large-scale flood phenomenon.

This extremely heavy rainfall directly led to the natural phenomenon of mountain torrents in the local area, and the local park roads were directly washed away by floods, and many infrastructures were seriously damaged. Many vehicles that had no time to leave were buried in the ruins, and even 1000 people were directly trapped in the disaster area. Relevant staff said that it may take a long time to repair damaged roads, showing how much impact the flood has on the local area.

In the past, Death Valley was an extremely arid area, and this place was also called the hottest place by netizens. This heavy rainfall even tied the previous rainfall record in this area. The local authorities recorded the heavy rainfall process through satellite monitoring. According to the data, the rainfall in three hours can be comparable to 75% of the previous average, which also surprised many netizens.

This heavy rainfall has a lot to do with the unusually strong subtropical high, but fortunately, the scope of this round of heavy rainfall is not particularly large, so the loss is still within the acceptable range. But it also reminds everyone that if the next climate is still so extreme, there will be more unexpected extreme weather in more areas. I hope everyone can start from the little things around them and protect the natural environment as much as possible.
