Climate Change and Rainfall Extremes in Africa: Occurrence, Impacts and Adaptation provides the latest developments on extreme rainfall in Africa, along with an analysis of current impacts, future implications, and community adaptations.
The book's chapters are organized into three parts: 1) Understanding Rainfall Extremes, 2) Regional Rainfall and Hydrological Extremes, and 3) Prediction, Impacts, and Adaptation to Rainfall Extremes.
Specific sections examine rainfall variability in Africa (and across the world), how climate change has contributed to the increasing severity of events, focus on different regions and various meteorological extremes, including tropical cyclones, drought, flooding, rising water levels, and changes in rainfall concentration.
Final sections look ahead to the future of forecasting rainfall, economic implications, damage assessment, adaptation, community resilience, and risk reduction measures.
This timely resource will deepen readers' understanding of how climate change and extreme rainfall in Africa (and elsewhere) are impacting communities and what can be done to mitigate the effects.
