Paper Summary

The Karak Plateau in Jordan has seen a decrease in annual precipitation and rainy days over the past 50 years. The rain is now more concentrated, with January and February contributing significantly more to the total annual rainfall. This change in precipitation patterns could have a big impact on water flow in arid and semi-arid areas.
