Climate projections map
Explore and understand what our future climate may look like on the climate projections map.
Explore and understand what our future climate may look like on the climate projections map.
This map shows projected future changes to New Zealand’s temperature, rainfall, and wind under different scenarios at a 5 km resolution. It allows individuals, communities, and businesses to explore and understand what our future climate may look like. The data is the average (mean) of the values produced by each of the six climate models used by NIWA for the downscaling process.

The original data has been transformed into a standard NZ geospatial projection (EPSG:2193). This process can result in slightly different values from the original data at particular locations. Grid squares with missing data around the coasts were filled based on a weighted averaging of neighbouring grid squares. Applying these two processes may produce slightly different maximum, minimum, and mean values for spatially aggregated areas, such as territorial authorities, compared to the original data.
Only tiles which have their centre in the mapped area were included for the aggregated areas.
