69 mm of rain fell on the Eastern Pyrenees and upper Segre in 1 to 14 August 2026, the most in 27 years of the same fortnight.
This event has closed. The rain fell between 10 and 23 days ago, over 1 to 14 August 2026, and this page has not been updated since. It is a record of what happened, not a report of what is happening.
Whether this rainfall caused flooding has not been established. No river gauge or independent source has been checked for the upper Segre. This channel measured a record fortnight of rainfall and has not established what that water did on the ground. Our own instruments measure rainfall and flood extent, and neither can answer it.
Eastern Pyrenees and upper Segre recorded 69.4 mm over 1 to 14 August 2026, against a median of 21.9 mm for the same fortnight since 2000. That is 3.17 times the median and the highest of the 27 years compared. This measures RAINFALL, not flooding.

Rainfall over 1 to 14 August 2026, by year
not ENSO-linkedWhat this is
Rainfall accumulated over 1 to 14 August 2026 and compared with the same calendar fortnight in each of the previous 26 years, as an area mean over the region. 13 of 14 days are compared; 08-10 was excluded from EVERY year, not just this one, so the comparison stays like for like.
What this is not
Not a measurement of flooding. We have not measured flooding here. This page reports rainfall only. Flood extent is not assessed for European regions: the screen passed none of the six tested, because week-to-week satellite visibility varies enough that a ranking would rank the weather over the sensor. That is a limit we measured, not one we assumed.
