The #Arctic is witnessing increased rainfall due to rising temperatures.
The region is warming 4 times faster than the global average, altering precipitation patterns.
The increased rainfall accelerates sea ice melting through darkening its surface, enhancing #climate feedback loops that contribute to further warming.
These shifts significantly impact not just the Arctic but also weather patterns throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
