Short summary
Heatwaves and heavy rainfall are dangerous on their own. But when they occur in quick succession, extreme heat followed by intense rain, they can create even greater risks. Our findings show that compound heatwave-extreme precipitation events are becoming a distinct and worsening type of climate hazard. They can no longer be treated as isolated events. To build resilience, early warning systems, disaster planning, and adaptation strategies must now account for these compound risks.
