RashaKamel"The study, shows that on decadal timescales, the loss of Arctic ice favors the climate of the south-west of the United States—and California in particular—becoming drier on average, especially in winter.
This phenomenon would also affect the climate of Spain and Portugal, favoring conditions of higher humidity in winter, although in this case the observed effect is weaker".

Arctic sea ice loss drives drier weather over California and wetter Iberian winters, modeling study shows
A study led by researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) has used a novel approach to unravel the influence of the loss of Arctic sea ice on the planet's climate, isolating it from other factors related to climate change.
