Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

The response of precipitation extremes to climate change is considered using results from
theory, modeling, and observations, with a focus on the physical factors that control the …

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws
translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives …

Weather extremes have widespread harmful impacts on ecosystems and human
communities with more deaths and economic losses from flash floods than any other severe …

India has witnessed some of the most devastating extreme precipitation events, which have
affected urban transportation, agriculture, and infrastructure. Despite the profound …

To build future climate-proof water systems and to reduce the failure risk of infrastructure,
short-duration extreme precipitation design storms must be updated. However, a robust …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

To seek stochastic analogies in key processes related to the hydrological cycle, an extended
collection of several billions of data values from hundred thousands of worldwide stations is …

The effects of climate change are causing more frequent extreme rainfall events and an
increased risk of flooding in developed areas. Quantifying this increased risk is of critical …

The uncertainties in current global and regional climate model integrations are partly related
to the representation of clouds, moist convection, and complex topography, thus motivating …
