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 …

One of the most important impacts of a future warmer climate is the projected increase in the
frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events. This increasing trend in extreme rainfall is …

Climate projections at very high resolution (kilometre-scale grid spacing) are becoming
affordable. These 'convection-permitting'models (CPMs), commonly used for weather …

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall
extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for …

Intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes and implications for flood risk: current state of
the art and future directions | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical …

Using global station‐based observations of precipitation, near‐surface air temperature
(SAT), and dew point temperature (DPT), we show that the negative scaling relationship …

While there are obstacles to the exchange of long-term high temporal resolution
precipitation data, there have been fewer barriers to the exchange of so-called'indices' …

Hourly precipitation extremes can intensify with temperature at higher rates than expected
from thermodynamic increases explained by the Clausius‐Clapeyron (CC) relationship (∼ …

Extreme short-duration rainfall can cause devastating flooding that puts lives, infrastructure,
and natural ecosystems at risk. It is therefore essential to understand how this type of …

Sample sizes of observed climate extremes are typically too small to reliably constrain return
period estimates when there is non-stationary behaviour. To increase the historical record …
