Climate Change and Rainfall Extremes in Africa: Occurrence, Impacts and Adaptation provides the latest developments on extreme rainfall in Africa along with an analysis of current impacts, future implications, and community adaptations. The chapters are organized into three parts: 1) Understanding Rainfall Extremes, 2) Regional Rainfall and Hydrological Extremes, and 3) Prediction, Impacts, and Adaptation to Rainfall Extremes. The first part closely examines rainfall variability in Africa (and across the world) while considering how climate change has contributed to the increasing severity of events. The second part focuses on different regions throughout Africa and various meteorological extremes, such as tropical cyclones, drought, flooding, rising water levels, and changes in rainfall concentration. The final part looks ahead at the future of forecasting rainfall, economic implications, damage assessment, adaptation, community resilience, and risk reduction measures. This timely resource will deepen readers' understanding of how climate change and extreme rainfall in Africa (and elsewhere) are impacting communities and what can be done to mitigate the effects.

• Conceptual framework gives readers an interdisciplinary understanding of climate change and rainfall extremes in Africa
• Case studies offer practical examples and real-world data
• End-of-chapter summaries highlight the main findings and future implications
