Soil moisture in southern Ukraine is close to zero (2.7%) [top right time series] and no precipitation is expected in the next 10 days [background map]

The agreement between the modelled soil moisture from GLOFAS (global-flood.emergency.copernicus.eu/glofas-forec...) and the new Copernicus EUMETSAT Soil Moisture product (land.copernicus.eu/en/products/...) is super good!

Congrats to the developers!!!

Soil moisture anomalies are at their lowest value since 2007: -89%.
Since January 2024, the soil moisture anomalies have consistently been lower than the mean (below 0), with a tremendous impact on crop production in the area, and for EU.

Here the zoom of the forecast of the very recent flood.

Note that overestimation in the first days is expected as flooding occurred that delayed the observed flood wave (the hydrological model doesn't include a flooding module, currently).

Observed (big image on the left) and predicted precipitation in Italy from 6 different models (images on the right) from 15-apr to 17-apr.

Still 16 hours missing, but predictions look very good!
