Statements
Precipitation refers to any form of water falling from the sky, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Extreme precipitation, influenced by both thermodynamic and dynamic processes, has increased due to warming and other factors. Since the mid-20th century, maximum daily precipitation over land has risen, with greenhouse gases attributed as dominant contributor.
