Rainfall in Arctic Will Soon Be More Common Than Snowfall – Decades Earlier Than Thought

Changes will happen decades earlier than previously thought. More rain than snow will fall in the Arctic and this transition will occur decades earlier than previously predicted, a new study led by the University of Manitoba (UM) and co-authored by scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Cen

The Arctic Could Be Dominated by Rain Instead of Snow Within Decades

New research suggests that the transformation may happen faster than anticipated

The Arctic will soon see more rain than snow: study

New study warns the change caused by global warming could have effects beyond the region.

The Arctic will soon see more rain than snow. Scientists say it may speed up global warming.

Greenland's summit had rainfall for the first time in recorded history in August. A new study suggest it'll happen much more often by 2100.

Arctic Rain Will Soon Be More Common Than Arctic Snowfall

When rain—not snow—fell on the highest point of Greenland’s ice sheet this August for the first time in recorded history, it was considered a worrying anomaly related to the regions’ changing climate. Now, a new study led by Canada’s University of Manitoba and co-authored by scientists at the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) shows that it’s not an outlier but a harbinger of things to come. More rain than snow will start falli…

More rain than snow in the Arctic: The changes in the far north are happening even faster than feared
