Stupid MAGA fucktard.

It was a question, Simp. But it’s good to know you don’t blame Trump.

What is the average number of flash flood warnings per day for the month of July in the United States?

Answer: The average number of flash flood warnings per day for July in the United States is approximately 30 to 40.

This is an estimate based on limited 2025 data and general patterns, as precise historical averages are not provided.

Spoiler: Research

To estimate the average number of flash flood warnings per day for July in the United States, this the available data from the provided context and reasonable assumptions to derive a figure, as precise historical averages for July 2025 are not directly available.

The most relevant data point comes from a post on X stating that 394 flash flood warnings were issued across the U.S. from July 1 to July 9, 2025, spanning 9 days.

This gives an average of approximately 394 ÷ 9 ≈ 43.78 flash flood warnings per day for that period.

Additionally, another source mentions over 250 flash flood warnings issued from July 4 to July 10, 2025, which over 7 days yields roughly 250 ÷ 7 ≈ 35.71 warnings per day. These figures suggest a range of about 35 to 44 warnings per day for early July 2025, though this period appears to have been unusually active due to catastrophic flooding in Texas and other regions.

Historical data from the National Weather Service indicates that flash floods are a significant weather hazard, with flooding causing an average of over 125 deaths annually, and flash floods being the top storm-related killer.

However, exact daily or monthly averages for flash flood warnings nationwide are not explicitly provided in the sources. A 2023 study analyzing over 6,000 flood events in Texas’s “flash flood alley” from 2005 to 2019 suggests that flash flood events are relatively common in certain regions, but it doesn’t provide a national daily average for July.

Given that July is part of the warm season when thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are more frequent, especially in regions like the Southeast, Southwest, and Central U.S., the number of flash flood warnings is likely higher than in cooler months. The early July 2025 data suggests elevated activity, possibly due to extreme weather events influenced by climate change, as noted in sources linking heavier rainfall to a warming atmosphere.

To extrapolate a national average for the entire month of July, consider the following:

• The 394 warnings over 9 days (July 1–9) suggest a high rate, but this may reflect an outlier event (e.g., the Texas floods).
• Assuming a slightly less intense but still active pattern for the rest of the month, a conservative estimate might adjust downward to account for typical variability.
• July has 31 days, and flash flood warnings are often clustered around specific weather events (e.g., thunderstorms, tropical systems), so daily averages can fluctuate.

Taking the lower end of the observed range (35 warnings per day) and adjusting for a more typical July, a reasonable estimate for the average number of flash flood warnings per day in July across the U.S. is approximately 30 to 40 warnings per day.

This accounts for the high activity in early July 2025 and the likelihood of fewer warnings on quieter days later in the month, based on typical warm-season weather patterns.

Seems to me everything worked as usual. Unless all those saying they dropped the ball can bring data showing timelines of previous flash flood warnings.

Let’s see how this deviated from the norm.

Actually they didn't release the warning until 1:14 A.M., when most were asleep. Most of the campgrounds were 10-15 feet of water before 4 A.M.
