The Emergence of a Climate Change Signal in Ireland's Rainfall Extremes
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Analysis of Irish precipitation records (1930–2019) shows significant relationships between rainfall extremes and global mean surface temperature (GMST), with increases of 12%–27% per °C of warming. Emergence of unusual climate conditions is already evident at several stations, most notably in the west during winter and the southeast during summer ...

Session:management of drainage near source – disconnection/minimise surface water entering public drainage [PDF]
, 2008 Many combined sewer networks are currently constrained due to lack of capacity. Surface water entering the network may have an impact on the local environment by causing additional spills from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and flooding events. With the

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.

Urban Pluvial Flood Forecasting
, 2012 Two main approaches to enhance urban pluvial flood prediction were developed and tested in this research: (1) short-term rainfall forecast based on rain gauge networks, and (2) customisation of urban drainage models to improve hydraulic simulation speed.
