Beyond this general tendency, climate change is likely to have impacts of a different nature on the water cycle in different regions of the world. Notably, available climate projections indicate likely increases in mean precipitations at high latitudes as well as at mid-latitude wet areas, and decreases in summer precipitation in mid-latitude and sub-tropical dry areas (IPCC, 2013). In regions with rain-dominated catchments, enhanced flow' seasonality was concluded by various studies, implying higher peak flows and decreased low flow's and extended dry periods (IPCC, 2007a; EEA, 2012).
