Are extreme rains increasing? The answer is yes. This analysis shows Tampa but does not include the past two days. You can see the most extreme rain events (green colors) are trending upward significantly as the climate warms. Analysis thanks to Sunil Nagaraj weathersight !!

Tonight after Football we reveal the results of an exclusive localized climate change-hurricane WFLA NEWS study done with Dept of Energy. We looked at how hurricane risk will change along the Gulf & SE coast the 2nd half of this century. Even for me, the results were stunning.

Talk about whiplash!! After 2 days in a row with top ten hourly rainfall records in Tampa, we now have 59” of rain for the year so far, 9 inches above our normal total yearly rainfall with 4 months left to go. Last year we couldn’t buy a drop of rain with only 24” by this date.

What a difference a year makes in Sarasota! To date we’ve had 60”, while last year at this time we only had 20”…3X more! From the driest year on record to likely one of the wettest.
