Precipitación en litros

No lo entiendo, ¿cómo se puede graduarla así?

Quote:
En algunas zonas de la Isla de La Palma, por ejemplo, las precipitaciones anuales llegan a superar los 1.200 litros.
¿Cuántos milímetros es?

PD: ¿Quizás así es "1.200 litros por metro cúbico?
PD2; No lo que dije no tiene razón.... ¿Quizás "1.200 litros por metro cuadrado?
Después un grande búsqueda encontré eso

1.200 litros de precipitación por metro cuadrado iguala "1.200 milímetros"

Aunque , no estoy completamente seguro

I think there is something missing in that statement.

For collecting rain in containers, 1 millimeter of rain falling on a square metre is equivalent to 1 litre, so 1,200 l should be 1,200 mm/m².
But they don't seem to say how their estimation was made.

Un litro = 1000 mililitros

No sé si te servirá.

Not really . It is quite simple. 1000 litres = 1 cubic metres (= 1 metric tonne), so a rainfall of 1000 litres on a square metre gives water depth of 1 metre (except it would flow away ). So an annual rainfall of 1200 millimetres = 1.2 metres of rain.

Where I used to live in Yorkshire, UK, we had an annual rainfall of 920 mm. It seemed to rain every day, but not much. In Tenerife, I estimate we have had 600 mm of rain in 3 days. (This from measuring water in a wheelbarrow which I had to empty three times.)

El artículo habla de todas las islas Canarias , pero me he dado cuenta de que 1.200 milímetros no es mucha lluvia (no sé lo que es común porque aquí cuando hace lluvia casi se moje la tierra, 200 mm anuales aquí)

Si hizo 600 mm de lluvia en tres días entonces el artículo es malo
¿Cuántas pienses Perikles lluvia se cae ahí un en año?

600mm of rain is nearly 2 feet. That's a lota rain in 3 days.

En Tenerife? 500 - 700 en un año - muy poco, pero toda agua en 1 - 3 dias, y 361 - 364 dias sin lluvia.

Well, here in Buenos Aires last week rained in three days(not consecutives) nearly 500ml and the city was overflowed completely since the first hour of hard rain (50ml in one hour, and half metre of water).


Some videos of the first day, to practice spanish :P
This is not normal, climate changes has been maximazing the peaks of phenomenoms; in the last years the temperatures and the rains have been inusuals.

How was Tenerife with those 600ml?

Espero que la gente se va bien ahí, nunca jamás he estado en una tormenta así. Pero me parece no divertido.

Me pregunto, en el primer vídeo , ¿el hablante no es Argentino?, en el segundo vídeo oí lluvia como (sh-oo-vi-ah) . ¿Es un acento argentino ?

Al agua hay que dejarle paso y están construyendo en los lugares por donde pasa el agua. Por eso sucede lo que sucede. No sé para qué estudia la gente, si luego comete tantas tonterías.

Perikles es un pececito ya, Ookami. pero veo que tú también.

20 mm, Bob.

Sí shoo-vi-ah es un ejemplo del accento argentino.

Hoy estamos en nuestro tercer día de lluvia y ahora anuncian una gran
nevada mañana.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife was about the same as in your video clip, in places much worse, with a much higher rainfall than I experienced.

No te entiendo ,

Al agua hay que dejarle paso
It should be allowed to flow

¿es un leísmo?

¿dijiste que la gente que construyó la ciudad es tontería porque la ha construyendo en un lugar por donde corre el agua

(No entiendo mucho del vídeo , en parte de que hay sonido de la lluvia que cae y me es difícil que oír y además, a mi vergüenza, que no conozco mucho de las palabras

Es un OI

Sí, la gente construye en los sitios por donde pasa el agua. No toda la ciudad, pero hacen muchos edificios en los lugares por donde suele pasar el agua cuando hay inundaciones. Riadas e inundaciones han existido siempre y el agua sabe por dónde tiene que ir. Otra cosa es que le interrumpamos el paso.

(No entiendo mucho del vídeo , en parte de que hay sonido de la lluvia que cae y me es difícil que oír y además, a mi vergüenza, que no conozco mucho de las palabras
Hay un dicho en catalán que dice: al lado del río, no te hagas el nido.

Y no te dé vergüenza, a mí me pasa con muchos vídeos en inglés.
