The number of extreme precipitation events is also increasing and are increasingly widespread.

There is evidence that the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events will increase over many areas worldwide, notably over many northern hemisphere mid to high latitude land areas.

Those extreme events demonstrate the awesome power of nature.

Distant Precipitation

Mixed Precipitation

Extreme events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, will be less extreme and less frequent with successful mitigation.

Coastal regions are the most vulnerable to many kinds of extreme weather events.

Projections indicate that extreme weather events will become more common in the future.

Consider what the IPCC had to say about extreme weather events such as intense hurricanes.

But, before millions of people are submerged, many will be struck by extreme weather events.

This has led to an increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events.

Many Parties highlighted specific aspects of their climatic circumstances including exposure to extreme weather events.

Expressing its deep concern at the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and associated natural disasters,

It further includes water related disasters, emergencies and other extreme events and their impact on human security.

Other projects in the field included the development of the Greenhouse Gas Observing Satellite and Global Precipitation Measurement Dual frequency Precipitation Radar.

(b) Improving access to high quality data and information on current and future climate variability and extreme events

Increases in the frequency or severity of extreme weather events could cause extensive damage, especially in developing countries.

For instance, changes are taking place in precipitation patterns, with a trend toward higher precipitation levels in the world s upper latitudes and lower precipitation in some sub tropical and tropical regions, as well as in the Mediterranean area.

Changes in global climate patterns and the frequency of extreme weather events have increased the threat of natural disasters.

Such catastrophic events underscore the vulnerability of coastal regions worldwide to extreme weather events that produce intense storm surges (increased water depth at the coast) and large, powerful waves.

These health hazards range from deaths related to extreme high temperatures and natural disasters to a change in patterns of diseases that are sensitive to temperature and precipitation, such as malaria and dengue.

In addition, construction in coastal areas damaged by extreme events could be prohibited, as has been done in Hilo, Hawaii.

Look no further than the insurance industry as they struggle to cope with mounting catastrophic losses from extreme weather events.

The most precipitation in one month was in February 1998.

The most precipitation in one month was in February 1998.

Auschwitz did not occur in a vacuum. It was the furthest extreme of a disaster that incorporated all these other events.

Climate change impacts are already evident in regions of such States, with the frequency and intensity of extreme natural events increasing.

Extreme climate events such as droughts, floods, tropical cyclones, severe storms and bushfires are regular environmental factors requiring flexibility and adaptation.

So Brazil has 1,782 millimeters per year of precipitation of rain.

We have all of the precipitation data and the temperature data.

This model relates the distribution of major ecosystems ( life zones ) to the climate variables of biotemperature, mean precipitation, and the ratio of potential evapotranspiration to precipitation (PET ratio).

When we have extreme El Nino events, you see all this red, and you see no green out here around the Galapagos.

This increases the likelihood of extreme weather events, like Russia s heat wave and Pakistan s floods in 2010, which affected millions of people.

Mr. Ian Burton, independent consultant, Canada, stressed the importance of motivating individuals to spread technologies for adaptation, especially relating to extreme events.

In many rural areas, deteriorating and outdated infrastructure has lost its resilience to climate related extreme events such as hurricanes and droughts.

Moreover, the language implied a causal link between climate change and current extreme weather events, while in reality that link was uncertain.

When we have extreme El Nino events, you see all this red, and you see no green out here around the Galapagos.

Climate change alters precipitation levels, drying up ponds, streams, and cloud forests.

Changing weather patterns and the increasing magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events will require substantial investments if farmers are to adapt successfully.

Taking into account the fact that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent manner,

Taking into account that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent and effective manner,

Looking only at individual extreme events will not reveal their cause, just like watching a few scenes from a movie does not reveal the plot.
