A Mediterranean episode is a meteorological phenomenon specific to the Mediterranean region, characterized by intense thunderstorms and, in particular, heavy convective rainfall.[1] It can even be described as a singular storm sequence, during which a series of more or less severe thunderstorms follow one another over a given area for 12 to 36 hours, with very high daily rainfall totals, often equal to four or six months' rainfall in just 12 or 36 hours. In the most violent episodes, the equivalent of a year's rainfall can even be reached in just 24 h.
Because of its seasonality, frequency and virulence, it can be compared to monsoons and tropical cyclones, since they are regularly observed at the same time of year, with highly variable inter-annual frequency. However, while interannual cycles are clearly identifiable for tropical cyclones and monsoons, this is not at all the case for Mediterranean episodes. In recent years, however, an interesting indicator has been identified: the water temperature in the north-western Mediterranean. The warmer it is, the greater the number and intensity of Mediterranean episodes.
When they mainly affect the relief of the Cevennes, they are more commonly referred to as Cevenol episodes. In fact, this was the term used in the past. However, as the formation mechanisms are similar all along the Mediterranean coast, as in Provence, Roussillon, Corsica, Spanish Catalonia, Italy and North Africa, the overly localized term was gradually replaced by "Mediterranean Episode".
They became particularly famous for the catastrophic consequences of certain episodes in France and Italy. Most of them, however, do not cause disasters, but regularly result in localized flash floods that are often spectacular. They are, however, necessary to replenish soil water in Mediterranean coastal regions.
