Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian gives a clear, figure-led account of Storm Charles across Portugal, Spain, France and Italy and of repeated heavy rain in British Columbia, with measured gusts, rainfall totals, outage counts and flight cancellations. Nothing in it misleads. Its one gap is minor: an extreme rainfall and flooding report that never says warming makes heavy rainfall more severe, though no attribution study for this storm was supplied.
Minor
“Storm Charles has brought destructive weather to the Iberian peninsula this week”
How we know
“183 flights were cancelled on Wednesday, about a third of its normal daily traffic”
It gives a precise count and puts it against the airport's normal traffic, so the reader can judge the scale of the disruption.
“issued a red rainfall warning, its highest level, for the area extending from Tuscany to Venezia”
It names the warning, explains what red means and states the area covered, with no vague alarm or understatement.
“A wind gust of 84.5mph (136 km/h) was recorded at Funchal airport, alongside rainfall totals reaching 355mm (13.97in) in 12 hours.”
It reports measured values tied to a named place and time period, rather than loose description.
