Description:
Data layers show the projected percent change (relative to historical conditions, 1970-1999) in average precipitation intensity, defined as the  ratio of annual total rainfall to the number of days during the year or season when rainfall occurred (rain day: when daily rain is greater than or equal to 1 mm). Data layers show the projected percent change in average precipitation intensity for two time periods: the 2050s (2040-2069) and the 2080s (2070-2099); and three climate models: a high (CanESM2), median (CNRM-CM5), and low (CCSM4), under a high emissions scenario (RCP 8.5). Projected change in the number of frost days are depicted by the yellow to green shading.
