The number of extreme precipitation events has doubled, and daily 4-inch rain events have increased about 70% since 1965.

The North Pacific heatwave these past few months has been astonishing. Take a look at the bottom of this image. It’s “accumulated heat stress” from NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch program. Basically the whole north basin registers Alert Level 5, dark purple. 1/
