These extreme weather situations are an exact product of a much warmer atmosphere.
Consequence of a warming atmosphere is that the higher latitudes are warming much faster than equatorial regions, weakening the jetstream. This means that cold air mass can escape towards the equator where it runs into air masses laden with much more water vapor.
So yes, the physics tell us why we see whether extremity
