Recent heavy rainfall in Valencia has brought significant attention to the growing impact of climate change on extreme weather events. According to a rapid analysis conducted by World Weather Attribution, human-induced climate change has increased Spain's rainfall by approximately 12 percent. Moreover, the likelihood of experiencing a storm as intense as this week's deluge has doubled.
World Weather Attribution, a renowned group of international scientists, specializes in examining the role of global warming in exacerbating extreme weather conditions. Their findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate such increasingly severe weather patterns.
As Spain grapples with these intensified weather events, the data underscores the broader global trend of climate change influencing weather extremes, affecting communities and economies worldwide.
