An increasingly common intersection for scientists researching #ExtremeRain is when it intersects with the personal:
#ClimateChange plus aging infrastructure ate my #bike lane #bikeNYC

And it has been an underfunded and not yet complete saga - bringing it back

The Hudson River Greenway — the nation's busiest bike lane — keeps caving in uptown, so the city and state should move it over onto the more stable Henry Hudson Parkway by repurposing one of its three car lanes for cyclists, residents and experts say nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/12/13/p...

The answer to the sinkhole greenway is right there: taking a lane from the Henry Hudson Parkway.

[6/6] En identifiant clairement ces mécanismes, l’étude fournit des bases solides pour améliorer les modèles de prévision et la préparation aux catastrophes. Elle rappelle que les interactions terre-mer jouent un rôle central dans les risques climatiques côtiers. #geography #extremerain #cyclones
Schematic diagram of the physical mechanisms for the increase in rain rate of landfalling Tropical cyclone (TC). The white spiral and yellow circle represent the simplified structure of the landfalling TC in North Hemisphere and TC’s vortex circulation, respectively. The orange vector (solid arrow) in front of the TC center indicates the moving direction (MVD) of the TC. Red curved arrows represent the vortex circulation of the TC (wind vector). Black upward arrows represent the vertical velocity of the TC. The cloud represents the asymmetric convection on the offshore side of the vortex circulation that contributes to the precipitation (white dashed lines). Blue and orange vectors represent the offshore (from land towards ocean) and onshore (from ocean towards land) flow respectively. The rainbow-colored bar, green bar, and yellow bar represent the differences in relative humidity, thermal differences, and frictional differences between the ocean and land, respectively.

It was a scorcher today.
But tomorrow 7/31/25 is major rainfall #extremerain in #nyc in the afternoon through overnight.

The notify NYC says rain rates of up to 2”/hour. This is above the average drainage capacity of our nyc sewer system. (That means flooding.)

Be ready.

Comparison of various forecasts for rain rates 7/31/25 N Notify NYC 8:01 PM to me v Notify NYC The NYC Emergency Management Department advises New Yorkers to prepare for potential heavy rain tomorrow, Thursday, 7/31 through Friday, 8/1. The National Weather Service has forecast a total of up to 2 inches of rain per hour. Total rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches is anticipated with locally higher amounts possible. Periods of heavy rain may cause flooding in the city, including highways, streets, basements, and underpasses. During periods of heavy rain causing flooding, seek higher ground or, if in a basement, move to a higher floor. City agencies have taken action to clean catch basins and remove street litter in the event heavier rain occurs. Heavy rain may create dangerous travel

Wtf #nyc it is March

Our sewers can only take 1.75”/hr — or 44.4 mm/hr.

It’s not Thunder flood time yet.

We’ve not even begun the springtime #extremerain
