Increasingly Intense Precipitation Warmer temperatures lead to more evaporation, hence drought and lower water levels in some area, whereas more intense storms and flooding in other sectors. Consequently, hydrological models and computations of 100-year flood plain must be revised to reflect tomorrow’s precipitation intensities, affecting design and planning of all existing and future critical infrastructures. 12
Increasingly intense hurricanes Some evidence shows that rising temperatures in the ocean, notably in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Pacific, fuel stronger hurricanes and cyclones (not necessarily more frequent storms, but deadlier storms with higher wind speeds and heavier precipitation. 13
