Maybe. Germany had a very rainy summer this year, and the flash floods were just single-day events in a long period of cloudy, rainy but noncatastrophic weather. The regular, noncatastrophic rain actually made up for most of the draught in the last three summers. So I would be hesitant to interpret this data either way.
