Understanding Extreme Precipitation: Risks, Impacts, and Climate Resilience

Extreme precipitation events are becoming more frequent and severe due to global warming, as rising temperatures increase the atmosphere's ability to hold more moisture. This intensification, shaped by both thermodynamic and atmospheric dynamics, poses significant risks to communities, infrastructure, and economies worldwide. Understanding these processes is crucial for mitigating impacts and building resilience in an increasingly volatile climate.
