Indeed, snowfall is often predicted to increase in many regions in response to anthropogenic climate change, since warmer air, all other things being equal, holds more moisture, and therefore, the potential for greater amounts of precipitation whatever form that precipitation takes.

However, global warming models also predict increased winds aloft across the subtropical, hurricane - spawning regions.

To some extent, this is again due to the factors mentioned above, but additionally, the models predict that the North Atlantic as a whole will not warm as fast as the rest of globe (due to both the deep mixed layers in this region which have a large thermal inertia and a mild slowdown in the ocean heat transports).

The authors of the study said the change could be temporary, given the short span of observations, but it matches a slight but steady warming trend in the affected ocean regions and also matches a pattern scientists have predicted would occur under human - caused global warming.
