A rapid analysis of floods in Southern Africa between Dec 2025 and Jan 2026 finds climate change intensified extreme rainfall.
Scientists say heavy downpours are becoming more likely in a warmer world. Impacts were worsened by social and structural vulnerabilities, with Mozambique hardest hit.

Human-induced climate change amplification on storm dynamics in Valencia’s 2024 catastrophic flash flood
It increased 6-hr rainfall rate by 21%, expanded the area with >180 mm of rain by 55%, and raised total rain volume in the Jucar River catchment by 19% (+pre-ind)
