"Summer precipitation" refers to the amount of rain or moisture that falls during the summer season.
Full definition
Using more sophisticated emissions scenarios and newer models, they find a greater decrease
in summer precipitation and a greater increase in annual precipitation than was found by earlier studies.
The correlation
of summer precipitation in the Southwestern U.S.A. with isotopic records of solar activity during the medieval warm period.
In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting model was used to simulate the diurnal variation in
summer precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) at a cloudresolving scale.
Implications of North Atlantic sea surface salinity
for summer precipitation over the US Midwest: Mechanisms and predictive value (J. Climate)
Decreases in
summer precipitation by up to 30 percent are expected across Germany by 2080, potentially leading to problematic heat and drought conditions in some areas and resulting in reduced crop yields and poor harvest quality.
This paper demonstrates there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon for new climate simulation technology to crack the difficult problem of projecting
future summer precipitation changes in continental interiors.

summer precipitation phasing in southwestern North America: A multi-century perspective from paleoclimatic model - data comparisons.
SESA has been characterized by
increasing summer precipitation, particularly during the late 20th century, which, in the context of favorable market conditions, has enabled increases in agricultural production.
Specifically, using observed salinity and precipitation, as well as atmospheric moisture budget analyses, Li and colleagues found that springtime salinity in the northeastern (northwestern) portion of the subtropical North Atlantic is significantly correlated
with summer precipitation in the African Sahel (US Midwest).
Vuille, M., D.R. Hardy, C.Braun, F.T. Keimig and R.S. Bradley, 1998: Atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with 1996/1997
summer precipitation events on Sajama Ice Cap, Bolivia.
If you now look at the boreal zone in the NH (Fig. 6b)
summer precipitation remains constant and exceeds the oceanic precipitation over seven thousand kilometers.
The following climatic variables were selected for initial consideration in the current study: MWMT (degrees centigrade), MCMT (degrees centigrade), MAP (millimeters), degree days above 5 °C (DD5), MAT, mean
annual summer precipitation (MSP), mean annual CMI, and AMI.
«Since the weather prediction model simulated the frequency and timing of
summer precipitation more reliably than the global model, its daily high temperature predictions for the future are also believed to be more accurate,» added co-author Leonard Druyan, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University.
«Climate change could influence monsoon dynamics and cause
lower summer precipitation, a delay to the start of the monsoon season and longer breaks between the rainy periods.»

European summer precipitation.
Similar results apply
for summer precipitation, with implications for more flooding in the Asian monsoon region and other tropical areas.
The weather prediction model used in this research is advantageous because it assesses details about future climate at a smaller geographic scale than global models, providing reliable simulations not only on the amounts
of summer precipitation, but also on its frequency and timing.
has decreased in winter, but no significant change in annual mean precipitation potentially because of very slight increases in spring and fall precipitation; precipitation is projected to increase across Montana, primarily in spring; slight decrease
in summer precipitation; variability of precipitation year - to - year projected to increase
The summer precipitation total was 10.87 inches, 0.87 inch above average, also the 26th wettest on record.
The models show less agreement regarding
summer precipitation patterns, though a slight majority of models suggest that there may be very small decreases in summer precipitation, particularly in the southeast.
Precipitation is projected to increase, primarily in spring (0.2 - 0.7 inches [0.5 - 1.8 cm]-RRB- in the northwest; a slight statewide decrease in
summer precipitation and increased year - to - year variability of precipitation are projected, as well.
It appears that these cyclones have significant impacts on
the summer precipitation regime not only along the Arctic coast, but also over the central Arctic Ocean, which is where many of the lows migrate into and decay.
The decreases in precipitation are statistically significant for both winter and
summer precipitation.
For the 2050s, the range of projected change in the Capital Regional District (CRD) is +1.3 °C to +2.6 °C in summer, +0.8 °C to +2.4 °C in winter, -5 % to +17 % in winter precipitation, and -30 % to +1 % in
summer precipitation.
For the 2050s, the range of projected change in Metro Vancouver is +1.4 °C to +2.8 °C in summer, +0.8 °C to +2.7 °C in winter, -5 % to +16 % in winter precipitation, and -25 % to +5 % in
summer precipitation.
In the video below «Influence of Arctic sea ice on European
summer precipitation (2013)», Dr James Screen explains the impacts of climate change on farming and flooding.
Location, mean annual and
summer precipitation, and mean annual and summer temperature of five beech forests.
Although it is unclear how much of the water pool available for photosynthesis is derived from winter versus
summer precipitation, research on oxygen isotopes in modern larch suggests that larch rely on spring snow melt and thus integrate the isotopic signal of annual precipitation (Sugimoto et al., 2002).
First point, a long known fact is that the upper midwest (meaning, the northern tier, west of the 25 inch annual average rainfall line) has
a Summer precipitation maximum, so dry winters can indeed be expected.
Summer precipitation decreases (increases) in northern (southern) Europe and is associated with a negative summer North Atlantic Oscillation signal.
Increased temperatures,
summer precipitation, humidity and radiation will also increase the prevalence of pests and diseases, which are likely to spread rapidly due to Bangladesh's poor public health system (Ministry of Environment and Forest, 33).
In
the summer the precipitation translates into snow sticking in regions over 4,000 metres in altitude that increases Mont Blanc's volume and height, Mr Giezendanner said.
