It’s also making storms stronger and pushing them to intensify faster. Scientists are very confident that climate change is increasing rainfall rates – how hard the rain is falling – and the amount of rain a storm can produce. “Climate change didn’t cause the storm but it did cause it to be wetter,” Wehner said. He also cautioned that their result is a “conservative estimate.” “This means that the storms are more efficient at precipitating the available moisture,” Wehner said in a statement. Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley who ran the analysis, noted that the physical relationship between air temperature and water vapor would suggest that Hurricane Ian’s rainfall should have only been around 5% higher due to climate warming. The analysis used the same methodology as a recent peer-reviewed study that looked at the influence of climate change on the 2020 hurricane season. Hurricane Ian’s rainfall was at least 10% wetter because of climate change, according to a rapid analysis released Thursday by scientists at Stony Brook University and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Several other locations likely experienced 1,000-year flood events based on radar estimates, including Winter Park (12 inches in 12 hours) North Port (14 inches in 12 hours) and Myakka City (14 inches in 12 hours). Lake Wales, which is east of Tampa in central Florida, reported nearly 17 inches of rain within 24 hours, exceeding its 1,000-year rain event of 16.8 inches.This exceeds the city’s 1-in-1,000-year rain event of 14.0 inches. Placida – just north of where the hurricane’s eye made landfall – received more than 15 inches of rain over the course of 12 hours on Wednesday.“But if the forecast says that it’s going to be bad weather and we’re going to play and start and stop … We want to make sure the conditions are correct, and if we have to wait a day, then we have to wait a day. We’re here to play baseball,” he said Tuesday. “If it’s possible we can play, of course we want to play. Washington was aware of the shaky forecast.
