The catastrophic rainfall hitting central Europe is exactly what scientists expect with climate change, highlighting the world’s poor preparation for such extreme weather.
Immediate analyses of the central European floods suggest most of the water vapour came from the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, both of which have grown hotter.
On average, the intensity of heavy precipitation events increases by 7% for each degree of global warming, reflecting the impact of climate change.
Climate scientists caution against attributing extreme rains directly to human influence, noting the complex factors that shape the water cycle and rainfall patterns.
