Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research looked at data from over 1,500 regions between 1979 and 2019.
Last summer heavy rain led to severe flooding in a number of European countries, causing deaths and significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.
Scientists at PIK looked at data from over 1,500 regions between 1979 and 2019. In a statement last month, PIK said the analysis suggested that "intensified daily rainfall driven by climate-change from burning oil and coal will harm the global economy." "While more annual rainfall is generally good for economies, especially agriculturally dependent ones, the question is also how the rain is distributed across the days of the year," she added.
