It gets just&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Sahara-desert-Africa\/Climate#:~:text=Daily%20temperature%20swings%20are%20considerable,falls%20in%20May%20and%20June.\">3 inches of precipitation per year<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/lot\/Annual_Precip_Rankings_Chicago\">one-tenth<\/a>&nbsp;of the amount of Chicago\u2019s rain, sleet and snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But by the second half of the 21st century, rising global temperatures could make the Sahara much wetter, according to UIC researchers. By that time, the North African desert could see 75% more precipitation than its historical norm, as reported in&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41612-025-01123-8\">Npj Climate and Atmospheric Science<\/a><\/em>. Under extreme climate conditions, rainfall is expected to increase in southeastern and south-central Africa, too, the researchers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChanging rainfall patterns will affect billions of people, both in and outside Africa,\u201d said lead author&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eaes.uic.edu\/profiles\/taguela-thierry\/\">Thierry Ndetatsin Taguela<\/a>, a postdoctoral&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsanola.com\/\">climate researcher<\/a>&nbsp;in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. \u201cWe have to start planning to face these changes, from flood management to drought-resistant crops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taguela said understanding how rising temperatures affect rainfall can help in the development of adaptation strategies. In the study, he used an ensemble of 40 climate models to simulate summer precipitation in Africa in the second half of the 21st century (2050-2099) compared with the historical period (1965-2014). Taguela analyzed models\u2019 outputs under two climate scenarios: one that simulated moderate greenhouse gas emissions and one that simulated very high greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both scenarios predicted that precipitation over Africa will generally increase by the end of the 21st century, with some regional variation. Notably, rainfall in the Sahara Desert is expected to increase by 75%, followed by a 25% increase in southeastern Africa and a 17% increase in south-central Africa. In contrast, researchers expect the southwestern region to be drier, with an anticipated 5% decline in precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Sahara is projected to almost double its historical precipitation levels, which is surprising for such a climatologically dry region,\u201d Taguela said. \u201cBut while most models agree on the overall trend of wetter conditions, there\u2019s still considerable uncertainty in how much rainfall they project. Improving these models is critical for building confidence in regional projections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most part, these projected changes are associated with the effects of climate change, as higher temperatures help the atmosphere hold more moisture, which in turn enhances rainfall. Changes in atmospheric circulation also played a part in reducing rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnderstanding the physical mechanisms driving precipitation is essential for developing adaptation strategies that can withstand both wetter and drier futures,\u201d Taguela said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taguela is part of UIC\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akinsanola.com\/\">Climate Research Lab<\/a>&nbsp;under&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eaes.uic.edu\/profiles\/akinsanola-akintomide\/\">Akintomide Afolayan Akinsanola<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news (unless you are a climate doomster) from the\u00a0University of Illinois Chicago\u00a0Climate Research Lab.\u00a0Of course, it\u2019s another climate model, so take it with a grain of salt \u2013 Anthony<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":409888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Sahara Desert to See 75% Increase in Rainfall by 2100","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691818056,691818153,691819383,691839027],"class_list":{"0":"post-409885","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-climate-change","9":"tag-climate-models","10":"tag-rainfall","11":"tag-sahara-desert","13":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0AQPU5U7b08ydwOPSlYK2Sqb6Z5BiT-oeQjRPtP768zzppwNbHRNN_mgZ0eRec0tT-O7xGmRqvyT0x-bORvmGXlsNjL615eXDHATmqxyjm_PQfA70J1zABzkw7NJf7gja-1.jpeg?fit=1411%2C920&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1ID3","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":287907,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=287907","url_meta":{"origin":409885,"position":0},"title":"Sahara Expert Says Desert Shrinking, Calls Alarmist Tipping Points \u201cComplete Nonsense\u201d","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"14\/11\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Physical Map Of Africa Mountains | Map Of World From NoTricksZone By\u00a0P Gosselin\u00a0on\u00a011.
