Floods in Germany, 49.5 degrees Celsius in Canada: coincidence or is such extreme weather increasing due to the climate crisis?
It’s very hot, then there is lightning, thundering and pouring. Partly really violent, with floods. This is what it has looked like in Germany over and over again in the past few days. Actually typical that something like this happens in summer. But in the accumulation?
Is there more to it than that? Will storms increase more and more in the coming summers due to the climate crisis? The meteorologist Prof. Felix Ament provides information and also talks about why predicting a thunderstorm is so complicated.
