How climate change intensified storm Boris’ extreme rainfall, revealed by near-real-time storylines

M. Athanase, A. Sánchez-benitez, et al.

Discover how an innovative automated system, created by Marylou Athanase, Antonio Sánchez-Benitez, Eva Monfort, Thomas Jung, and Helge F. Goessling, reveals the dramatic impact of climate change on extreme weather events. The system's analysis of storm Boris shows that human-induced warming intensified rainfall by 9% and expanded the affected area by 18%. Check out the publicly available results for real-time climate insights!

Abstract
This paper presents an automated system that analyzes the impact of climate change on extreme weather events in near-real-time using storyline simulations based on a coupled climate model. The system is applied to storm Boris, which caused record-breaking rainfall in Central and Eastern Europe in September 2024. The results suggest that human-induced warming increased rainfall from storm Boris by about 9% and enlarged the area affected by extreme rainfall by 18%. The system's results are publicly available online, showcasing the potential for near-real-time storylines in climate change communication.
