Moreover, according to a detailed research by the World Weather Attribution, it is clear how climate change has increased the probability of extreme rainfall by up to 9 times, the intensity of such rainfall by up to 13% and has affected 1-2 days of summer rainfall, i.e. in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands in July 2021.
