💨 Abstract

Summer, once a season of relaxation, has become increasingly marked by anxiety and disruptions due to fossil fuel pollution and other accumulating factors. This summer, the U.S. saw a tragic surge in deadly flash floods, highlighting the growing volatility of a warming world. This is reportedly "the summer of the inundations." The country experienced unusually high humidity, leading to intense and localized rainfall when fronts or other weather systems arrived.
