Since 1961, 12% of mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands have shifted to a more arid climate category, while the Canary Islands have seen 16% of their territory become drier. A new study warns that this trend of progressive desiccation is set to worsen. Researchers caution that sporadic rainfall events can mask the long-term reality of Spain's accelerating aridification.
