The research, recently published in Environmental Research Letters, follows hot on the heels of a recent paper in Nature Climate Change, which looked at how global temperature rise means that billions of people will experience climates that are “unusual”, “unfamiliar” and “unknown” in the future.
While the new study is similar, it goes a step further by considering how rainfall is likely to change in the future, as well as temperature.
