Climate change is exacerbated by heavy rainfall and drought
Extreme weather events – torrential rain on the one hand and heat waves on the other – are among the predicted effects of climate change from scientists. While the annual total of precipitation may not change, their distribution will be different: the number of precipitation is short-lived and intense, resulting in more floods, and droughts are possible over longer periods in between. In addition, heavy rainfall does not withstand drought as well as water quickly drains into the waterways.
In the document prepared by the Warsaw City Council on adaptation to climate change, we read that in the years 1981-2013 “the number of days with heavy rainfall increased and higher and higher values of the precipitation unit were recorded”. An example is the rainfall in the capital in June 2020, when within a few hours an amount of rain equal to the average monthly rainfall fell. In addition, lack of water retention and urban concrete add to the effects of these heavy rains and contribute to flooding of streets and buildings. Another example is the Lodzki province, which is threatened by severe desertification and at the same time by flooding in the valleys of the largest rivers of the region.
