The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is increasing 💧

Across 78% of Earth, in fact.

This compares the new 1991-2020 water vapor climatology to 1981-2010.

As we begin yet another hurricane season, this is a factor that increases the chance of extreme rainfall events. pic.twitter.com/tLReUF5Twz
