But what is clear is that the vulnerability of societies will be different – with poorer countries often more exposed, he added. It’s not possible to say exactly when and where extreme rainfall events will happen, Uhlenbrook told CNN.
“The increasing intensity of heavy rainfall events and associated flooding, such as those we are currently witnessing, is an expected consequence of a warming climate due to our emissions of greenhouse gases,” said Richard Allan, a professor in climate science at the UK’s University of Reading.Ī warmer atmosphere is able to store more water, leading to more intense rainfall when it falls.Īs the planet warms, the expectation is that we will see “more and more intense, more frequent, more severe rainfall events, leading also to more severe flooding,” said Stefan Uhlenbrook, director of hydrology, water and cryosphere at the World Meteorological Organization.
