Summer (June–August) difference (A1B minus reference) in mean precipitation from ECHAM5 (upper) and RegCM3 (lower) during the early (left) and the late (right) 21st century. Units are expressed as the percentage of present-day value, and only areas where changes are statistically significant at the 90% level are shaded.
