First up, this morning, the southern and central parts of Texas were under a flash flood watch. May was the wettest month in the U.S. state`s history, but June hasn`t brought any relief so far. Rainfall of more than two inches per hour is in the forecast.


今天早上,德克萨斯南部及中部地区发生洪水。5月是美国历史上洪水肆虐的频发期,但目前为止情况还没有任何缓和。天气预报称每小时降雨量超过2英寸。


The governor has declared a state of emergency in 31 Texas counties and what that does is speed up assistance to the areas that need it most. The grounds are already saturated 1 in many parts of the state. So, our forecast of more rain can only increase the threat of floods.


该州州长于宣布德州31个县进入紧急状态,而此举导致对救援人员加速救援行动。德州许多地区降雨量已达到饱和状态。因此我们预测更多的强降雨只会增加洪水的威胁。


For perspective, last month alone, Texas got more than 35 trillion, that`s trillion with a T, 35 trillion gallons of rain. That would have been enough to cover the entire state with almost eight inches of water, though the rain was concentrated in specific areas.


举例来说,仅上个月,德克萨斯州的降雨量就达到超过35万亿加仑的降雨量。这种程度的降雨量足以淹没整个州,虽然雨水集中在特定的区域,但整个德克萨斯会达到8英寸的降雨量。


Where is it all going?


这些降雨最终会去到哪里?
