Some general observed climate trends include higher magnitude and frequency of temperatures including warm extremes (high confidence) (Section 12.4.7.1, Table 11.13 and Atlas.10.2), declines in high-intensity rainfall events (low to medium confidenc e) (Table 11.14), regional sea level rises with strong storm surges and waves resulting in increased coastal flood intensity (high confidence) (Section 12.4.7.4 and Atlas.10.2), and increased intensity and intensification rates of tropical cyclones at global scale
