A new study led by Prof. Xiaopeng Cui from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with experts from the National Meteorological Center of China, has uncovered a startling trend of increased short-duration extreme precipitation over mountainous regions in Southwest China. These findings shed light on the pressing issue of climate change and its significant impact on extreme weather events.

These findings shed light on the pressing issue of climate change and its significant impact on extreme weather events.
In a world grappling with the consequences of global warming, the research team’s investigation reveals a disconcerting reality: while total global precipitation increases, the intensification of short-duration extreme precipitation outpaces the overall rise.
