The study looked at how atmospheric rivers and rainfall in the Middle East and North Africa region have changed over time and might change in the future. They used different models to predict that in the future, areas like North Africa and the Mediterranean will likely have more atmospheric rivers, but less rainfall overall. However, places like the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa could see more rainfall in the future. Overall, the frequency of atmospheric rivers is expected to change differently from the amount of rainfall in most parts of the Middle East and North Africa.
