•Climate change worsened deadly Nepal floods, scientists say
76% Informative
Nepal suffered its worst flooding in decades in late September after ferocious monsoon rains swelled rivers, swamping entire neighbourhoods in the capital Kathmandu and other districts.
Analysis found the relentless rain, which fell on saturated ground in the late monsoon, was made at least 10 percent heavier and 70 percent more likely by climate change.
Experts warn that such "explosive" rain bursts will "become even heavier, risking more destructive floods".
