Climate change is making extreme downpours in Spain heavier and more likely,
scientists say
The Hill, 31 Oct 2024 19:37Z
Human-caused climate change made Spain's rainfall about 12% heavier and
doubled the likelihood of a storm as intense as this week's deluge of
Valencia,...
Somewhat counter-intuitively, while all not normal weather events
are generally increasing, more extreme weather is growing faster than
just above-average weather.
E.g. see the plots.

Shows precipitation across the Med region at the "10 percentile" level.
I.e. daily raindall that is in the top 10% of rainy days over the past
~220 years.
There has been a steady increase by about 2mm each century.
But the top 5% is faster:

Growing at ~4 mm each century.
And the top 1% is faster again:

>
Growing around 11 mm each century.
Finally, the largest rainfall event for each year in the region:
<Loading Image...
>
These are growing at an incredible 125 mm each century.
Daily rainfall that was only 50mm (i.e. ~2 inches) in 1850 has
become 300mm of rain (~ 1 foot) in a day around now.
And all the above numbers are just the trend line. 1/2 the data you see
on the plot are above the trend. E.g. the biggest rainfall event in the
dataset is over 350mm for 1 day. (These GHCN data define a day
notionally between 9am GMT one day and 9am GMT the next day;
for many places collecting data over other 24 hrs spans can give
totally different records, something well-known to climate trolls :).

The term "global warming," which describes an increase in the Earth's
average temperature surface due to greenhouse gas emissions, is widely
believed to have been coined in 1975 by Columbia University geochemist
Wallace Broecker, according to NASA.
[In June 1988 NASA scientist James E. Hansen popularised the term
when he testified to the US Senate].
Meanwhile, "climate change," which describes a long-term change in the Earth'
s climate, appeared a few years later in a 1979 National Academy of Science
study on carbon dioxide.
