Each season brings expected changes to the weather. But with climate change and the warming of the atmosphere, weather patterns are becoming less predictable with more heat waves, and increased severity of super- and local- storms.
EPA scientists are investigating the increased occurrence and intensity of extreme precipitation events, which are defined as days with precipitation in the top one percent of all days with precipitation, according to the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Many parts of the country have experienced these changes already with storms that bring high accumulations of rain or snow, resulting in flooding and threats to public health and property.
