Offshore wind farms could reduce coastal rainfall by 15%, German study finds

A new study by Germany's Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon warns that large clusters of offshore wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea may alter regional rainfall patterns. The turbines slow wind speeds and disturb the lower atmosphere, triggering increased precipitation over the sea while reducing it over land. Computer simulations indicate that coastal areas in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK could see rainfall decline by as much as 15%. This effect was modelled under an extreme wind farm expansion scenario, suggesting the impact would scale with the size of offshore installations.
