Rapid attribution of the extreme rainfall in Texas from Tropical Storm Imelda
The study finds that the extreme two-day rainfall during Tropical Storm Imelda in September 2019 was made more likely and more intense by anthropogenic climate change. Observational data suggests the probability of such an event has increased by a factor of 2.6 since 1900, while climate model synthesis indicates a probability increase of 1.5 to 3.1 times and an intensity increase of 9% to 21%. The report also notes that rapid urban expansion and loss of impervious cover in Southeast Texas have exacerbated flooding risks for approximately 6.6 million people in the impacted counties.
