In mid-July, due to heavy rains, the flood occurred in many countries of Europe. Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Switzerland were affected. Rambler has found out why floods have become more frequent.
Climatologists believe that it is necessary to carefully study the relationship of large-scale disruption of the summer season with warming in the Arctic and the accumulation of heat in the ocean. Since the possible consequences of global warming, which they have been talking about over the past ten years, have begun to overtake us now.
Climate change is leading to an increase in natural hazards, which include heat waves, rainstorms, and snow storms. Since the beginning of 2021, such dangerous events have already happened by 18% more than last year.
The weather changes around the world, which affects the amount of precipitation. In the northern regions it starts to rain or strong snowstorms occur, in the southern regions precipitation may not be observed at all.
This is evident from the analysis of the last 30 years. The number of days with abnormally high temperatures has increased, and due to heating and accumulation of steam in the atmosphere, rains have become more frequent.
Climatologists believe that fires and floods are a new reality to come to terms with. Now all that remains is to create an infrastructure that will protect human life in new circumstances.
