Boxplot of the projected annual average of maximum air temperature (a), minimum air temperature (b), and rainfall (c), based on seven global climate models (GCMs), for mid-of-century (2040–2069) and end-of-century (2070–2099) periods, under intermediate (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) emission scenarios, based on the INMET and XAVIER historical database (1980–2009). Boxes denote the lower (25%) to upper (75%) values, with a horizontal line at the median and crosses at the mean values.
