Characterization of Future Caribbean Rainfall and Temperature Extremes across Rainfall Zones

Figure 8

Change in linear trend for 2071–2099 relative to 1961–1989 for all indices across each zone and the entire Caribbean domain for the A2 and B2 scenarios. Trends are calculated using all grid points in the defined zones. Brown (green) cells indicate changes towards drier (wetter) conditions. Red (blue) indicates changes towards hotter (colder) conditions. CDD (CWD) is the maximum number of consecutive dry (wet) days; R10 is the annual count of days when precipitation is greater than or equal to 10 mm; R95P is the annual total precipitation when rainfall is greater than the 95th percentile; RX5 is the annual highest 5-consecutive-day precipitation (mm); TX90 (TN90) is the percentage of days when maximum (minimum) temperature is greater than the 90th percentile; TX10 (TN10) is the percentage of days when maximum (minimum) temperature is less than the 10th percentile.
