Climate change is increasing our risk of both heavy rains and extreme droughts. But why is that? Aren’t the two contradictory? Take a look at our new visual guide to how climate change impacts the water cycle.

Higher temperatures mean there is more evaporation. Warmer air can hold more water vapor, which can lead to more intense rainstorms.
