These pictures map the progress of the storms that hit Kyuushuu last week, where 250,000 people evacuated their homes due to heavy storms and the associated impending floods and landslides. And people say the Netherlands is experiencing too much rain...
Kyuushuu is currently expecting a typhoon to rush by.
The Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) reports the following about the rain in the month June this year:
June was a wet month, with 94 mm precipitation on average over the whole country, in contrast to a long term average of 68 mm. The regional differences in precipitation amounts were very large this month. In the south several places experienced over 100 mm of rain, the highest value being 123 mm. The center and north of the country many places experienced less than 75 mm. Due to the precarious nature of the weather every day had some precipitation. Nationally, 3, 4, 18, 21 and 24 June were very wet days with 10 mm or more precipitation.
On the 7th of June a whirlwind caused damage in Montfoort, and on the 21st of June a thunderstorm caused local water damage and wind gusts; and lightning caused power failure.
