Humans have not recorded the climate for millions of years. Climatologists can't say definitively that current weather changes are abnormal... just sayin'..

Please ask for help from Switzerland as a member of the Schengen area of the European Single Market, because Mojotta, Réunion, Guadeloupe, French Gujane, Martynique belongs to the European Union 🇪🇺, the European Economic Area EEA, the European Single Market. Mayotte can also ask for help from the European Commission 🇪🇺 EU.

Bruhhh it just gave over 25 cm in 24 hours but here in chennai (tamilnadu,India) we recorded 45-50 cm rainfall repeatibg for 4 timed in a row on 2015 and in 2023 we recorded over 56 cm in 18 hours and an whopping 73 cm in less then 24 hours and in 2024 we got 53 cm in just one mid-night and more then 70-80 in interior of tamil Nadu. All these extreme rain was caused by cyclone but 2015 great flood was triggered by continues low pressures and even in past we had many extreme event.on 2015 it ways raining wildly for several weeks and the sky was way too dark, literally it looked like fore night. This 2025 year can be also be wild for us as el nino will build up after june-july.😢

So the ocean temperature has been rising since 1981 more quickly why aren't they prepared what's more shelters, electro, and water for these people to go to
