December 4, 2025

New research suggests the Saharan Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, could see up to 75% more rainfall by the end of the century, a stunning shift driven by rising global temperatures and changing atmospheric circulation. Meteorologists and experts warn a wetter, greener Sahara could drastically reduce dust plumes over the Atlantic, potentially fueling stronger, more frequent and destructive hurricanes.
