Climate change may lead to more precipitation and more intense floods. A new study shows that to understand the details of this relationship, it is important to distinguish between different types of rainfall and flood events—namely, between short-term events that occur on a time scale of hours and longer-term events that last several days. In each case, climate change has a different impact. Climate change may lead to more precipitation and more intense floods.
