A Wetter Sahara Desert Could Reshape Hurricane Season

New research suggests the Sahara 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 other experts warn a wetter, greener Sahara could drastically reduce dust plumes over the Atlantic, potentially fueling stronger, more frequent and destructive hurricanes.
