The effect of climate change is not simply to reduce rain during the summer months, but also to increase the number of torrential storms.
Many buildings in hurricane-prone U.S. coastal states are fitted with soffit vents with louvers that are designed to close during high winds and reduce rain intrusion.
Plants may evolve diverse strategies to reduce rain effects, including a change of floral orientation, floral closure during rainfall to protect sexual organs from rain, or evolve pollen resistant to water damage (Eisikowitch and Woodell 1975; Bynum and Smith 2001; Huang et al. 2002; Hase et al. 2006; Mao and Huang 2009).
"El Niño contributed to the drought by reducing rains, and this may be exacerbated by climate change," he says.
WASHINGTON, D.C.--A controversial air pollution law substantially reduced acid rain in the United States in 1995, researchers reported Tuesday.
In addition, locals recognise seasonal variations in salinity and were able to show that it was higher during the peak of dry season and progressively reduced in rain months (FGDs).
In northern and central Australia, reduced monsoon rain in global cold stages caused lakes and rivers to dry, vegetation to become more sparse, sand dunes to become active, and dust advection to increase.
When I was growing up in the Smokies, the predecessor to the cross-state rule delivered results: it made our air cleaner and safer, reduced acid rain, and helped clear the endangered mountain views that were the bedrock of our tourism-based economy.
The National Association of Manufacturers, in opposing regulations to cut acid rain in 1987, said "The effects [of rules to reduce acid rain] include serious long-term losses in domestic output and employment, heavy cost burdens on manufacturing industries, and a resultant gradual contraction of the entire industrial base.
