Lead
The lead section appears to be 5 paragraphs, the first of which is edited. The edited paragraph at the top is sufficient as a lead section and does a good job of summarizing the topic. The first sentence of this paragraph concisely describes the articles topic (anthropogenic should be hyperlinked). If the other 4 paragraphs are supposed to be part of the lead section than they need to be greatly reduced. There is more information than needed to provide an overview of the topic.

Content
This article is already very thorough. As for the content added, it is mostly relevant and up to date. One bit of added content that should be reconsidered is "On a global scale the rate of precipitation over land has seen an increase of 2% between 1900-1998, varying significantly depending on the region". The 1998 statistic is already 26 years out of date. I suggest using a less out of date source like the 2020 NOAA state of the climate.

Tone and Balance
The content added is neutral and maintained a balanced viewpoint. It would be nice if some cases of real world implications of these changing cycles was included, and/or any legislative plans to combat/adapt to these changes.

Sources and References
The link to this citation does not work

Dai, Aiguo; Fung, Inez Y.; Del Genio, Anthony D. (1997-11). "Surface Observed Global Land Precipitation Variations during 1900–88". Journal of Climate. 10 (11): 2943–2962. doi:10.1175/1520-0442(1997)010<2943:SOGLPV>2.0.CO;2. ISSN 0894-8755.

The rest of the links to added citations work.

Only 3 of the citations added are from the past 5 years. It would be good to add some more current citations since this topic is so rapidly changing (see suggested citation in section above. The citations included are all primary literature which is good and all of the information added is supported by these citations.

Organization
I like how this article is broken down, and I like the content that has been added, especially the section on water vapor. The writing style is clear and concise and is free of grammatical and spelling errors.

Images and Media
From what I can see, no images have been added to the article. I think that a bar or scatter plot of increase precipitation levels worldwide would be a nice thing to add to this article.

Overall impressions
The content added has improved the quality of the article and made it more complete. However I think that more information needs to be added, especially since this is such a complex topic (see above suggestions). This is very strong for a rough draft but edits throughout the entire article should be considered. I especially think the section on floods could be updated, it is currently only based on one citation, but because it is a large part in the discourse on climate change and the water cycle it should have at least 3-4 citations, and examples of places where increased flooding has caused a lot of issues.
