These rain bombs are becoming much more frequent and much more extreme. And actually the water coming off the oceans is held in much greater volumes by the warmer air. Atmospheric rivers are becoming larger. Here's one, from Hawaii in the lower left to Silicon Valley in the upper right, 2,300 kilometers. What was happening in Silicon Valley when this satellite picture was made? Well, that's what happens when these rain bombs drop, and the average atmospheric river now contains as much moisture as 25 Mississippi Rivers.
