The rain is crucial too; it helps seeds to germinate, refills water supplies across the country and ushers in those spring blooms. However, too much rain can cause chaos, such as flooding, which has been increasing throughout spring and April over the last few decades.
As the planet continues to warm, the atmosphere also holds more moisture with every 1°F of warming, leading to around a 4% increase in atmospheric water vapor. Ocean temperatures are also rising, which helps transfer heat and water into the atmosphere, which can also aid in fueling not only heavier rain but convection storms.
