  3. Flood in June 2013 • CAUSE: • low pressure formation travelling from the Mediterranean to the north east across central Europe • very intensive rain (> 100mm /24h) in narrow strip with lots of storms • high soil saturation • RESULT: • 100-year flood exceeded in 12 hydrological sites • 15 casualties • 550 000 000 EUR economic losses 24h rainfal [mm] Reccurence interval for hydrological response

  4. Flood in June 2013 • strong underestimation of QPF • missing signal of rainfall extremity (available NWM, precipitation ensembles) observed 24h rainfall sum QPF 24-hours sum (0 to 24h) lead time

  5. Flood in June 2013 • underestimation of rainfall-runoff model

  6. Flood in June 2013 • underestimation of therainfall-runoff model • better results in large-scale water basins with longer travel time of water

  7. Flood in June 2013 • Satisfying lead-time of thefirst flood warning • Strong underestimation of floodseverity Flooding released 2.6. 00:30) Flood warning released 31.5. 21:00) Flood watch (released 31.5. 21:00) Flood watch (released 30.5. 15:00)
