Researchers highlighted a scientific injustice regarding the insufficient data linking climate change to the intense rains in late June 2025 in Colombia and Venezuela. These rains caused significant landslides and displacement of thousands. World Weather Attribution faced challenges in attributing these weather patterns to climate change due to multiple influencing factors and a lack of long-term observational data. Conducting rainfall analysis revealed complex factors that affected rainfall in Colombia and Venezuela, further complicating the climate attribution efforts.
The lack of data to establish the role of climate change in the intense rains in Colombia and Venezuela has been described as a scientific injustice by researchers.
World Weather Attribution scientists found it challenging to attribute rainfall to climate change due to multiple contributing factors and insufficient long-term observational data.
Rainfall in the region is affected by various factors, making understanding the climate change connection complex and revealing gaps in global climate models used.
Following the torrential downpours, analysis indicated complex precipitation patterns in Colombia, with significant precipitation recorded since February, against typical dry month expectations.
