12 Days of Half of the Year's Rain Falls

A new study determines that half of the earth's snow, ice, and rain tend to fall on the twelve wettest days of the year. Researches now know that climate change will increase the entire precipitation amount. The researches new studies on the amount of precipitation will not help in many ways at all to the earth. Increase in the average temperature of the world cause the weather to be more extreme than normal. A recent study showed that the newly occurring hurricanes already are much wetter. Many stations were placed around the world to gather the total precipitation. Scientists came to the conclusion that rain falls very fast in a short time. Short enough for twelve days to gather the half the world's yearly rainfall. 12.5% of the yearly rainfall comes down in just two days. The most wet days of summer are 5.2% of the total rainfall and the winter is 3.4%. As the temperature starts to increase the precipitation amount will change also. Scientists tend to have one question which is when will these severe rainfalls happen? The answer is unknown which is why researches are still making studies to prepare for the future days.

I thoroughly enjoyed this article because it explained to me how serious it is when it rains or snows. Precipitation already is affecting the entire world by making weather more dangerous or even more rainfall than in the past.
