🌀 Typhoon Dujuan caused deadly landslides & flooding around Tokyo on Sept. 21. #ClimaMeter finds that similar weather patterns now bring 5–15% more rain than in 1950–1987. ~6% of rain-linked damage is attributable to human-driven climate change. www.climameter.org/20260921-typ...

🌧️ Bangkok floods: #ClimaMeter finds that similar weather patterns now bring 20–25% more rain and 30% stronger winds than in 1950–1987. ~5% of rain-linked damage is attributable to climate change. Low confidence due to the event’s rarity. www.climameter.org/20260925-ban...
