A new report by the World Weather Attribution network has found that climate change played a role in the catastrophic floods that hit Bahía Blanca, Argentina. The extreme rainfall, which delivered a month's worth of rain overnight and killed at least 16 people, was intensified by rising global temperatures. Scientists say that warming conditions led to a more humid air mass, which clashed with a cold front, triggering the torrential downpour. The study warns that such extreme weather events, once considered rare, are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Experts urge stronger climate adaptation measures to mitigate future disasters.

Kišne oluje u Argentini vjerojatnije u svijetu koji se zagrijava, kaže izvješće
An analysis by the World Weather Attribution found that extreme heat in the region leading up to the floods caused a warmer and more humid mass of air that clashed with a cold front from Argentina's Patagonian region, causing the torrential rains in Bahia Blanca, a port city about 550 km (340 miles) south of Buenos Aires.
