Overview

Storyline approach shows increased hail risks linked to climate change in Switzerland, indicating significant regional impacts.

Key Points

  • Hailstorm events in Switzerland have increased, particularly for hail diameters of 3 cm or more, due to climate change.
  • Factual simulations with climate change impacts exhibited more hail than counter-factual simulations, confirming the influence.
  • Analysis involved WRF simulations with significantly increased CAPE and minimal changes in melting depth over the present period.
  • Quantified attributed risk suggests that areas affected by larger hail diameters are expanding due to anthropogenic climate changes.
