The Sun, on Climate, 12 November 2026
We do not republish articles from The Sun. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on thesun.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Sun gives a sourced, largely accurate account of Storm Charles across Portugal, Spain, Madeira and the Canary Islands, attributing its figures to weather agencies and civil protection officials. It reports 260mm of rain in 36 hours and widespread flooding but never says that warming makes heavy rainfall more frequent or more severe. That is a minor gap rather than a distortion, because no attribution study for this storm appears in the material.
“While the weather was not as severe as initially expected, Civil Protection commander Mario Silvestre confirmed”
The Sun says plainly that the storm was weaker than forecast and names the official behind the alert status. This matches other reports that the storm weakened before it reached mainland Portugal.
“Spain’s state weather agency Aemet said Puerto El Pico in Avila, near Madrid, was the worst affected town”
The rainfall figure is attributed to the named state weather agency, not given unsourced.
