Abstract: Climate change is one of the primary causes of variation in global weather patterns, including those of rainfall frequency and intensity. Due to this, there is an urgent requirement for updated strategies regarding the design and management of urban infrastructures based on reliable IDF curve estimations. The review paper aims at assessing the impact of climate change on IDF curves, the methodological approach for updating IDF curves, and the consequences for urban flood management. This paper synthesizes recent literature to provide an overview of how climate-induced changes in precipitation patterns call for a paradigm shift in the use of IDF curves
