Overall changes of maximum, minimum, and mean air temperature and rainfall, averaged from seven global climate models (GCMs) for 31 Brazilian sites for mid-of-century (2040–2069) and end-of-century (2070–2099) periods, under intermediate (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) emission scenarios, when compared to the historical climate conditions (1980–2009).

Period	RCP4.5				RCP8.5

	Maximum	Minimum	Mean		Maximum	Minimum	Mean
2040–2069	2.01	1.79	1.90	−6.18	2.70	2.56	2.63	−4.34
2070–2099	2.52	2.25	2.39	−6.68	4.61	4.35	4.48	−8.62
