#France #floods
#Storm #Monica swept across the country from 08 March 2024 bringing extremely #heavy #rain. Some areas in the south recorded more than 300 mm of rain in 48 hours. Since 09 March, the rain has triggered severe flooding in the departments of Gard, Ardèche and Var.
Update March 13

The Connexion reports:
The body of a man was found yesterday evening (March 12) in the Ardèche department, three days after a hydroelectric plant worker went missing in the area.

It was discovered by hunters and relatives of the 73-year old who disappeared on Saturday evening during flash flooding.

The body was found close to a micropower station along the Eyrieux river, where the man was working during Saturday evening's storms.

Authorities believe it is most probably the body of the missing man, however rescue workers and police forces were unable to reach the location of the body last night but planned to make a fresh attempt this morning.

It now brings the death toll from the weekend's storms and high waves to seven - six in the south of France and one in the west.

An overdue #CME struck #Earth's #magnetic #field on March 3rd. The impact sparked a #G2-class #geomagnetic #storm and bright #auroras around the Arctic Circle. Jan Eklind photographed the display from the window seat of an Airbus A20N at 35,000 feet:
"I was flying from Oslo to Kirkenes on Scandinavian Airlines when the CME struck," says Eklind. "Auroras spread across the sky with twilight in the distance and city lights below."

The CME was hurled into space on Feb. 28th when a magnetic filament connected to sunspot AR3592 erupted. It was not aimed directly at Earth, and forecasters were unsure if it would deliver even a glancing blow; however, the impact was stronger than expected.

Gestern Abend, 25.02.2024
So ein schöner Tag war gestern, als ich mit meiner guten Freundin unterwegs war. Eine fast drei Stunden lange Runde haben wir gemacht, am Rande von der Stadt Rheine, an der Ems. Der Flusspegel ist immer noch ganz hoch, aber kein Überflutung Gefahr mehr. Unterwegs haben wir fest gestellt, dass das Wasser stand 1,5 Meter höher im letzten Monaten, beim Überschwemmungen. Erschreckend für uns beide war die Feststellung.
Auf dem Rückweg habe ich kurz am Wegesrand angehalten... Diese Aussicht war spannend: ich wusste, dass über meinem Ort geht gerade wieder die Welt unter, beim ganz starken Regen und ich stand dort, noch alles trocken und hinter mir noch fast wolkenfreier blauer Himmel!
💙💙💙🌈☔️🌤

A HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A huge hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is directly facing Earth. Solar wind flowing from the hole will reach our planet on Dec. 4th or 5th. Its arrival should spark G1-class geomagnetic storms. #Aurora alerts: SMS Text

STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A Cannibal #CME struck Earth's magnetic field on Dec. 1st, sparking a strong G3-class #geomagnetic #storm with auroras in both hemispheres. "We witnessed an incredible show on the #Canterbury #coastline overlooking the Pacific Ocean," reports Mike White from #NewZealand. "The sound of waves crashing onto the beach and washing across the stony pebbles created the perfect soundtrack for these Southern Lights."
"The Cannibal CME arrived just as New Zealand skies were darkening. The resulting cloud of charged particles rained down Earth's magnetic field lines and delivered a light show that lasted for hours. It was easily visible to the naked eye."
