Heavy rains have accelerated landslides and contributed to coastal erosion in California. The state's turbulent weather conditions are becoming more extreme due to climate change.
Climate change is intensifying precipitation levels, rising sea levels and worsening droughts. For now, it has stopped raining in the state, but the effects of the second season of extreme rains could be felt for years. In the community of Rancho Palos Verdes, a city on the coast of Los Angeles County, recent rains have caused landslides in places where they had not been reported before.
