Pacific storms unleash floods on California while Sierra Nevada sees heavy snow

Pacific weather systems dumped heavy rain along the California coast, triggering flooding in cities like Los Angeles and setting daily rainfall records in Stockton and Modesto, while winds produced travel hazards and mountain-pass closures. Simultaneously, heavy snowfall spread across the Sierra Nevada, boosting the state’s snowpack and aiding drought relief for the Rockies, with another round of rain and snow forecast in the coming days.

California Storm Targets Coast to Summit with Floods and Historic Sierra Snow

California Storm Targets Coast to Summit with Floods and Historic Sierra Snow

A dangerous multi-day storm pounds California with heavy rain, flash flood risk, and historic Sierra Nevada snowfall potentially reaching up to 8 feet at higher elevations. Evacuation warnings are in place near burn scars in Los Angeles, while damaging winds threaten trees and power lines. The system triggers flight delays at SFO, widespread travel disruptions, and the potential for landslides, waterspouts, and rare winter tornadoes along the coast; officials urge residents to heed warnings and avoid mountain roads as the storm lingers.

SoCal Braces for Heavy Rain, Flooding and 10-Foot Waves

A strong storm is forecast to bring heavy rain, possible flooding and dangerous waves to Southern California from Sunday through early next week, with 1–2 inches of rain in valleys and coast (more in the mountains), potential debris flows in burn-scar areas, gusty winds, and high surf with waves over 10 feet; Bay Area beach hazards are also expected as the system moves through, with mountain snow possible as totals rise.

Portugal’s floods expose planning gaps and the case for letting water flow

Portugal’s deadly storms caused widespread damage and displacement, exposing long‑standing planning flaws like soil sealing, inadequate drainage, and aging infrastructure. Experts argue climate risks must be central to urban design and advocate nature‑based solutions—more green space and retention basins—citing Setúbal’s successful basin as a model, though funding and maintenance remain ongoing challenges.

Council to buy and bulldoze 16 flood-prone homes in Ynysybwl

Council to buy and bulldoze 16 flood-prone homes in Ynysybwl

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has approved buying 16 flood-damaged homes on Clydach Terrace, Ynysybwl, for about £2.57m and demolishing them to remove flood risk from the Nant Clydach stream, after NRW judged a flood-defence wall not economically viable; two homes (6a and 6b) are excluded due to elevation, and residents say constant flood warnings have caused anxiety, with relocation support potentially offering a safer future as climate change makes flooding more frequent.
