Think Thursday: melt-water

So, what if, instead of the melt-water from glaciers, ice caps, ice bergs etc. entering the sea, what if the excessive heat meant the water entered the atmosphere. And never left.

Would some areas get more rain, whilst others get less? Would this result in an increase in deserts, or a decrease? Or would there be more lakes, perhaps rainforests would spread instead?

I'm not disputing sea level rise, this is a serious threat, but the exceptionally hot week made me wonder what could happen instead.
