There are various ways in which climate change can make weather more extreme. Some of them are fairly obvious – if you warm up the planet, you’re going to have more frequent and intense heatwaves. Warmer planet, you’re going to have more extremely hot days. You tend to see more flooding events, because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, so when it does rain or snow, you actually get more precipitation. The rain and snow falls in larger amounts, and that’s something we’ve seen as well in recent years.
