Rising temperatures due to global warming will cause increasingly extreme rainfall in the tropics. This is indicated by the study published in the journal Science Advances.

The key lies in the fact that higher temperatures push the clouds to aggregate more. This causes greater quantities of rainfall on the same areas, simultaneously causing those to expand very arid, which will receive less and less water.. Extreme precipitation is one of the most damaging natural disasters, and its frequency has increased in recent years due to climate change.
