Spatio-temporal distributions of aridity characteristics in Europe based on results of CMIP5 experiments are considered. According to calculations with a model, MPI-ESM-P, climate cooling in the Little Ice Age is characterized by a more humid climate in northern Europe compared with that in the pre-industrial period, although the changes are statistically insignificant. For the medieval climatic optimum, the changes in the climate humidification mode from the pre-industrial period are statistically insignificant. According to calculations with the IAP RAS CM model, cooling in the Little Ice Age is characterized by a more humid climate in the North-Eastern Atlantic compared with that in the pre-industrial period, and the changes are statistically significant.
