Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego conducted a result on the annual rainfall across places of the earth. The results point that by the end of 21st century, our planet earth will have reduced rainfall by nearly thirty days.
Human influences have a huge impact on the climatic factor and alter the pattern of rain and snowfall. The institution has also drafted a computer model of the project which indicates that places such as Amazon, Indonesia, Mediterranean climate regions, Central America, etc will have more of dry days ever year.
California will have nearly five or ten such dry days in a year. This is an advanced level of research that takes under consideration the daily weather condition and finer geographic scales. The annual average will have to be calculated over smaller number of days in the future. In the drying regions, annual rainfalls would be unreliable, said the post doctoral researcher, Suraj Polade.
