: As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture (roughly 7% more for every degree Celsius). This is leading to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events globally. 4. Safety and Preparation : Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to

: The process begins with warm, moist air rising rapidly from the Earth's surface. This can be triggered by intense solar heating (thermal convection), a cold front pushing under warm air (frontal uplift), or air being forced up a mountain (orographic uplift).
