New rapid attribution at LBL shows that climate change increased Hurricane Helene's rainfall by more than 50%, and made the event up to 20 times more likely overall.
The Clausius-Clapyron effect (a +7% increase in rain per degree C of warming) was significantly amplified by local dynamics. Mike W adds, "Slight increases in horizontal wind speed can have a significant vertical motion response. And in these regions, orographic lifting compounds the change."
