Climate change likely made Pakistan’s extreme rainfall more intense -study
The torrential monsoon that has submerged more than a third of Pakistan was a one in a hundred-year event likely made more intense by climate change, scientists said on Thursday. In the hardest-hit areas of Sindh and Balochistan provinces, where August rainfall was seven to eight times heavier than usual, climate warming made average five-day maximum rainfall about 75% more intense, according to a report https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/analysis/rainfall/ by World Weather Attribution (WWA), an international research collaboration that teases out the role of climate change in extreme events. Across the entire Indus River basin, the scientists found maximum rainfall was about 50% heavier during a two-month monsoon period due to climate change.
