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 …

Regional climate modeling using convection‐permitting models (CPMs; horizontal grid
spacing< 4 km) emerges as a promising framework to provide more reliable climate …

The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases
the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however …

Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for
increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite …

Extreme precipitation intensities have increased in all regions of the Contiguous United
States (CONUS) and are expected to further increase with warming at scaling rates of about …

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

Extreme precipitation events can pose great risks to natural ecosystems and human society.
Investigating past changes in the frequency, intensity, and duration of such events and …

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 …

Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) first attempted a global
assessment of long-term changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in its Third …
