These events threaten society through hazards like floods and droughts, underscoring the need to understand how such risks are evolving in a changing climate. Standardized methods have recently been introduced to assess the potential role of climate change for extreme events. The World Weather Attribution (WWA) offers a probabilistic framework to determine whether changes in the frequency and severity of extremes can be attributed to anthropogenic warming. Here we use this methodology to attribute an unprecedented rainfall event in Southern Denmark to anthropogenic climate change. On September 27, 2024, approx. 145 mm of rainfall fell over the city of Esbjerg, marking the highest daily rainfall on record for September. The event caused widespread flooding, disrupting transportation, damaging infrastructure, and affecting residential areas. This study draws on rainfall observations, reanalysis datasets, and climate model ensembles to assess the role of anthropogenic climate change. Notably, this is the first attribution study to apply ClimEx, a high-resolution, regional single-model initial-condition large ensemble (SMILE). The results of the analysis show that the rainfall event was 60 % (−20 %–540 %) more likely in the current climate compared to a pre-industrial climate, and that the intensity of the event increased by 10.2 % (−3.3 %–25.6 %) due to climate change. Our findings also indicate that the frequency and intensity of such events increase with further warming. Overall, this study highlights how hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities contribute to risk in cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48630,"journal":{"name":"Weather and Climate Extremes","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100848"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145785334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite recent advances in deep learning for WH forecasting, a critical gap persists: current models often fail to reliably predict rare but catastrophic extreme WH under typhoon conditions due to data scarcity. To address this challenge, we propose a physics-guided multi-scale attention framework, named the typhoon-induced wave height network (TWHN), which adopts a dual-branch architecture that separately captures wind sea and swell features. Unlike architectures that rely on initial WH inputs, TWHN forecasts WH directly from historical wind fields, thereby reducing error accumulation and supporting predictions at future time steps. To enhance the representation of extreme WH events, we introduce a tail-aware extreme value optimization (TEVO) strategy, which integrates a progressive training scheme to shift model focus from global patterns to tail data and a quantile-aware hybrid loss to penalize underestimation of high-magnitude waves. Additionally, a feature distribution smoothing mechanism is employed to stabilize training in data-sparse regimes by mitigating feature dominance from frequent samples. The model is trained, validated, and tested on WH records from 1982 to 2022, using a reanalysis dataset that includes 1 060 typhoons in the Northwest Pacific. Evaluation based on regional fields and nearshore station comparisons suggests that TWHN maintains strong potential for forecasting high-impact typhoon wave events. This work may provide implications for the advancement of operational wave forecasting and the support of risk decision-making in response to typhoon-induced marine hazards.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48630,"journal":{"name":"Weather and Climate Extremes","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100844"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145730872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies have examined the irreversibility of the climate system following carbon neutrality, most have focused on single carbon neutrality scenarios with limited attention to these vulnerable areas. This study assesses the irreversibility of extreme precipitation intensity across seven GMA sub-regions under eight future scenarios, incorporating four carbon neutrality targets and two reduction rates, using simulations from a state-of-the-art climate model. Our results reveal that extreme precipitation intensity exhibits irreversible behavior in response to carbon neutrality forcing, failing to return to its initial level even when atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> is reduced. This irreversibility is particularly pronounced when carbon neutrality timing is delayed, and the emission reduction rate is slow. Moreover, the irreversible response is nonlinear to the magnitude of carbon forcing, leading to distinct regional vulnerabilities, with some areas experiencing sharp increases in irreversibility by even small delays in reaching carbon neutrality. This region-specific behavior is largely attributed to increases in mean and variability of precipitation linked to irreversible El Niño-like warming and interhemispheric differential warming. Moisture budget analysis further shows that the intensified precipitation arises from the relative influence of thermodynamic (moisture flux) and dynamic (wind) drivers across regions. These findings highlight the urgency of rapid policy implementation in vulnerable regions and can provide a scientific basis for developing regional adaptation strategies to mitigate growing extreme precipitation risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48630,"journal":{"name":"Weather and Climate Extremes","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100843"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145689977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the marginal contribution of urbanization to precipitation amplification diminishes with increasing urbanization levels but remains persistently higher for extreme events. Crucially, these nonlinear effects are more pronounced at monthly and seasonal scales than at the annual scale, underscoring a heightened vulnerability to short-term extremes.

Furthermore, extremely high temperature days account for a considerable proportion of days with high PV power potential (PVpot). Therefore, this study investigates changes in PVpot on future extremely high temperature days over East Asia, a region with high greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to extreme climatic events. The East Asia–averaged PVpot for extremely high temperature days was estimated to decrease across all scenarios and future periods. The East Asia–averaged PVpot for extremely high temperature days was predicted to decrease more substantially toward the late 21st century, with a larger magnitude of decrease expected under the high–carbon emissions scenario compared to the low–carbon emissions scenario. By the mid–and late 21st century, PVpot for extremely high temperature days was projected to decrease in PV hotspot areas, particularly in the regions of northern China and southern Mongolia, by up to −7.2 %. The signs of PVpot projections vary across sub–regions under summer mean conditions, while on extremely high temperature days, PVpot is consistently expected to decrease in all regions. This suggests that extremely high temperatures further intensify the decrease in PVpot. Moreover, under extremely high-temperature conditions, near-surface air temperature has been identified as the primary driver of projected decreases in PVpot among the climate variables considered; its influence is expected to intensify over time, thereby accelerating PVpot decreases under the high–carbon emissions scenario.
