Austrian research team has shown for the first time that short-term precipitation and flood events on the scale of a few hours are particularly affected by the temperature increase caused by climate change.

For events on a longer time scale, the relationship is more complicated.

This finding was made using detailed data collected in Austria over more than a century -- but it can also be applied to other regions.
