Abstract (1) Three practical and easily implementable methods are provided to estimate percent increases in extreme rainfall due to climate change for the period 2020–2090 using Global Climate Model (GCM) output. (2) Methods are designed to bracket the expected range of extreme rainfall intensification for 1–24-h events with return intervals of 1 year to 100 years. (3) One method is based on the 20 largest wet days produced by an ensemble of GCMs, and the other two use GCM projections of temperature and Clausius–Clapeyron assumptions. (4) The results of the case study for the Philadelphia area show that, by the end-of-century, extreme rain event volumes might increase from a low of 18% to a high of 61%, depending on the duration and return interval under consideration. (5) Methods have been benchmarked against existing, publicly available projected rainfall intensities to show the methods that provide an accurate range of extreme rainfall intensification due to climate change.
