	Description:		Few things grip the nation’s attention as firmly as an intense weather event. And recently, it seems that those events are becoming more common and more extreme. This week, New Zealand has been in the path of yet another ‘atmospheric river’ that’s drenched the country, dumping a month’s worth in rain in a matter of hours and again damaging infrastructure. This comes shortly after Australia faced massive floods and as countries in the Northern Hemisphere sweat amid record-breaking heat waves. Today, NZ Herald science reporter Jamie Morton joins Damien to discuss the causes behind these events – and how common they could become.
