It really isn’t. People commonly think that the climate warming by a degree means that the weather warms up by a degree. However, there’s a good 100 miles of air above us, and that mass of air warming by a degree means that it can now retain a LOT more humidity before it starts precipitating as rain. This means coastal areas get drier and hotter, while mountaineous areas get much more rainfall (and more of it as water instead of snow), as well as flooding, mudslides, etc.
