Less rain, heavier downpours. Red dots mark urban areas where climate models project a drier future overall, but more intense rain on the wettest days, by the end of the century. Together, these areas cover about a quarter of the world’s urban land and are home to roughly 1.5 billion people today. Projections are based on 32 global climate models under a high-emissions scenario.
