Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Gaining a holistic understanding of extreme weather, from its physical drivers to its impacts
on society and ecosystems, is key to supporting future risk reduction and preparedness …

Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for
increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite …

Increasing atmospheric moisture content is expected to intensify precipitation extremes
under climate warming. However, extreme precipitation sensitivity (EPS) to temperature is …

Long-term changes in convective and stratiform precipitation in Northern Eurasia (NE) over
the last five decades are estimated. Different types of precipitation are separated according …

Extreme precipitation of multiple durations is responsible for major natural hazards in
mountainous regions, such as flash floods and debris flows. Understanding the orographic …

Climate change is expected to impact the severity and frequency of floods, which has
implications for flood risk management. Design floods and derived flood frequency curves …

Climate change is projected to impact on the magnitude, spatial location, and timing of large
precipitation events, with evidence for this already present in the historical record. However …

Extreme precipitation events are intensifying with increasing temperatures. However,
observed extreme precipitation‐temperature sensitivities have been found to vary …

Research to detect changes in precipitation variables has become a topic of particular
interest to understand modifications in water resources availability. The review is focused on …
