Constraining the increased frequency of global precipitation extremes under warming

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 14 April 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01329-1

Climate change is causing more frequent and intense precipitation extremes, yet the changes are difficult to project. Here, climate models are used to develop an emergent constraint; applying this suggests a 32% increase in the frequency of precipitation extremes by the end of the century.
