October's and November's rainfalls
Answer to the question of the month

Posted by Olga Zografou, Christina Papamichali on December 07, 1998:
We can see that most rainfalls are in Germany then Austria and then Greece. In October it was raining all along the month but the rainfall varied. In November the rainfall in Austria and Greece have increase. Notice that in our country there was a lot of problems' cause by these rains due to the summers' fires. We will send more information and observations as soon as we finish our project.

Yours, Olga and Christina

It is really astonishing that the rainfall in Germany was so different from the rest. To give some more information about it, we want to add that during the whole century there has never been so much rain in Germany.

We have discussed the rainfall diagram. The results are very obvious. In Greece it starts to rain later and the amount of the rain is smaller. But we think that with the diagrams we loose too much of information. The thing that we are interested most are the result of the rain i. the floods. We cannot see for example that we had a lot of problems in Greece due to the summer fires. Do you have any idea what we could measure or report in order to take into account also this factor?

To give you some more information about what happened in October, we can tell you that our rivers and the river Main, too flooded the areas near by. The flood in the Rhein-Main area was not as dangerous as in different areas like Baden-Baden or in the federal state of Niedersachsen (northern part of Germany). It's quite common to have a lot of rain in autumn but normally the rain is heavy in November so this might be a consequence of the global changing climate.
