Climate Indicators
In the long term, average amounts of precipitation in the summer months will shrink, and evaporation will increase. The ground will become drier, there will be fewer rainy days and the longest precipitation-free period will last longer.
Projected Days with heat index >35°C
| RCP 2.6 | RCP 4.5 | RCP 8.5 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Possible around mid-century | 1.1( -1.3, 3.7) | 1.5 (-0.9,3.9) | 1.9 (-0.5, 4.4) |
| Possible by the end of the century | 1.2 (-1.3, 3.8) | 2.2 (-0.3, 4.9) | 3.9 (1.4, 6.7) |
A noticeable reduction in precipitation during the summer months is expected in the future. Although we are still experiencing a similar amount of rainfall on an average rainy day in summer as in the past, there are now more days without rain. The longest dry period in summer may last about a week longer on average by the middle of the century.
