Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Hailstorms are dangerous and costly phenomena that are expected to change in response

Globally, thunderstorms are responsible for a significant fraction of rainfall, and in the mid-
latitudes often produce extreme weather, including large hail, tornadoes and damaging …

Drought is projected to become more severe and widespread as global warming continues
in the twenty-first century, but hydroclimatic changes and their drivers are not well examined …
