💨 Abstract

The study published in Nature reveals that climate change is causing more intense short-term precipitation and flood events, particularly in a few hours' time frame, due to temperature increase. For longer-term events, the relationship is more complex, with global weather phenomena like El Nino playing a significant role. The findings are based on data collected in Austria over a century and can be applied to other regions worldwide. The study predicts changes in the probability of flooding in different regions.
