A map depicts the average annual precipitation worldwide. Highest precipitation areas (dark blue), are notably in western Brazil, Guinea, and Indonesia. Lowest precipitation (light blue) areas include northern Africa, Greenland, and central Australia.

Global distribution of average annual precipitation

Average Annual Precipitation

Most of Asia, the southwestern and northeastern regions of North America, the western coastal region of South America, Iceland, the eastern and northwestern parts of Australia, and the extreme southern region of South Africa receive precipitation ranging from 10 to 19 inches shaded in light blue. Northern regions of Africa, Greenland, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, central Australia, and much of Russia, including its northern, southern, and eastern parts, receive around 10 inches of precipitation shaded in very light blue. Much of India, Nepal, eastern China, central Africa including Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya, central North America, Mexico, and the eastern part of Canada receive 20 to 39 inches of precipitation. Central Africa and the eastern region of India, including South Asian regions, receive 40 to 59 inches of precipitation. Southern and southeastern Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Vietnam, and Japan receive 60 to 79 inches of precipitation. The western part of Brazil, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the extreme northern region of Madagascar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, and some regions in Central America receive over 80 inches of precipitation shaded in dark blue.

A map highlights areas around the world that are vulnerable to a sea-level rise of 70 meters, marked in blue.

Areas vulnerable to a 70-meter rise in sea level, given worst-case scenario conditions

Sea-Level Rise Vulnerability (70 m)

In North America, vulnerable regions include the eastern seaboard of the United States, the Gulf Coast, parts of the West Coast, and the coastal areas of Canada, including the Arctic regions. Central America shows vulnerability along its entire coastline, particularly in Mexico, Belize, and the eastern coasts of Nicaragua and Panama. In South America, the vulnerable areas are mainly along the eastern coast, including parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, as well as the western coastlines of Colombia and Ecuador. Europe sees extensive vulnerability along the Atlantic coasts, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea, including the British Isles, the coastlines of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and the Baltic states, as well as parts of the Mediterranean coastline, including Italy and Greece. In Africa, vulnerable areas are identified along the Mediterranean coast in the north, the west coast from Mauritania to Nigeria, parts of the east coast in Somalia and Tanzania, and the southern tip around South Africa. Asia shows significant vulnerability in low-lying coastal areas, including the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia (notably Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia), and East Asia, particularly eastern China and Japan. In Australia, the vulnerable areas include the northern coast, the eastern seaboard, and parts of the southern and western coasts. Oceania has numerous vulnerable areas, especially in the low-lying islands and coastal regions of countries like Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Antarctica is marked with some coastal vulnerability, highlighting the global impact of potential sea-level rise on diverse geographic regions.
