By Daniel Brouse October 1, 2024 There is growing evidence that raindrops are increasing in size due to climate change and rising temperatures. Several studies suggest that global warming is influencing precipitation patterns, including the size and intensity of raindrops. Here’s a summary of the key points: 1. Increased Water Vapor in the Atmosphere Warmer […]

Rising temperatures increase the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, as warmer air holds more moisture. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation shows that for every 1°C (1.8°F) increase in temperature, the air […]

Extreme Rainfall–surge Hazard Risks
by Daniel Brouse Most climate change models forecast rising sea levels as the predominant threat of a warming climate to flood risks. Though sea level rise is of great concern, so should be extreme rainfall. Both the sea and air temperatures are rising. Warm air can hold more moisture than cool air. Warmer sea temperatures […]
