This is not just a future prediction; it is a trend that has already been observed in the past decades. The dry, semi-arid regions are expanding into higher latitudes, and temperate, rainy regions are migrating poleward. In a paper that that was recently published in Nature Geoscience, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers provide new insight into this phenomenon by discovering that mid-latitude storms are steered further toward the poles in a warmer climate. Their analysis, which also revealed the physical mechanisms controlling this phenomenon, involved a unique approach that traced the progression of low-pressure weather systems both from the outside &#8211; in their movement around the globe &#8211; and from the inside &#8211; analyzing the storms&#8217; dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under global climate change, the Earth&#8217;s climatic zones will shift toward the poles.
