Heat extremes linearly shift with global warming, with frequency doubling per decade since 1979
Heat extremes have been increasing both in frequency and in intensity in most land regions of the world, and this increase has been attributed to human activities. In the last decade, many outstanding and record shattering heat extremes have occurred worldwide, triggering fears of a nonlinear behaviour or an ‘acceleration’ in the development of heat conditions, considering the warming level when the event occurred. Here we show that the evolution…
Challenges in the attribution of river flood events
Advances in the field of extreme event attribution allow to estimate how anthropogenic global warming affects the odds of individual climate disasters, such as river floods. Extreme event attribution typically uses precipitation as proxy for flooding. However, hydrological processes and antecedent conditions make the relation between precipitation and floods highly nonlinear. In addition, hydrology acknowledges that changes in floods can be stron…
Regional differentiation in climate change induced drought trends in the Netherlands
The summer of 2018 was characterized by high temperatures and low precipitation values in the Netherlands. The drought negatively impacted different sectors, resulting in an estimated damage of 450 to 2080 million Euros. Strong regional differences were observed in the precipitation shortfall across the country, with highest deficits in the southern and eastern regions. This raised two questions: (i) have increasing global temperatures contribute…
Climate change increases the probability of heavy rains in Northern England/Southern Scotland like those of storm Desmond—a real-time event attribution revisited
On 4-6 December 2015, the storm ``Desmond'' caused very heavy rainfall in northern England and Scotland, which led to widespread flooding. A week after the event we provided an initial assessment of the influence of anthropogenic climate change on the likelihood of one-day precipitation events averaged over an area encompassing northern England and southern Scotland using data and methods available immediately after the event occurred. The analys…
