Rainfall Intensity Surges in US Cities
Description
Climate Centrals latest data reveals a stark reality: ninety percent of U.S. major cities have experienced more intense hourly downpours since 1970, with an average fifteen percent increase. The Upper Midwest, Northern Rockies, Plains, and Ohio Valley are among the hardest hit. Flash floods pose a significant threat, causing widespread damage and contamination. Projections show eighty-five percent of U.S. counties will see a ten percent rise in extreme storm rainfall, with hotspots like Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Maine, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alaska, and Hawaii facing thirty percent or more. Climate change is driving this trend, and unless we act fast, these patterns will intensify.
