Heavy rain in May 2025 New South Wales floods locally intensified by human-driven climate change

Meteorological conditions similar to that causing floods in New South Wales  are up to 3 mm/day (up to 15%) wetter over the coast in the present than they have been in the past. 

This event was associated with very rare meteorological conditions 

We mostly ascribe the increase in precipitation of the New South Wales  floods to human driven climate change and natural climate variability likely played a modest role.
