Think climate change just means hotter days? Think again.
When the planet warms, the whole water system goes into overdrive. Warmer air holds more moisture — so when it rains, it often pours. Short, intense downpours can overwhelm roads, drains, and rivers in minutes.
At the same time, warmer oceans power stronger storms, bringing heavier rain and bigger storm surges. And rising sea levels mean coastal areas flood more easily — sometimes even during normal tides.
More heat doesn’t just mean more sweat.
It means more water moving through the system — and more flooding risk.
