Climate projections summary dashboard
Explore and understand how key climate variables are projected to change for territorial authorities
This dashboard provides an overview of how key climate variables are projected to change for territorial authorities (not including Chatham Islands). The data is the average (mean) of the values produced by each of the six climate models used by NIWA for the downscaling process.
- Select a territorial authority from the dropdown list in the dashboard.
- The dashboard will display graphs and a summary of changes to temperature, rainfall, wind in that area.
- Each graph shows how a climate variable is projected to change over 3 future periods: 2021 – 2040, 2041 – 2060, and 2080 – 2099
- Within each future period, 3 climate change scenarios are presented. A range is shown for each scenario. The bar in the middle indicates the mean projection for that scenario. For more information about the scenarios.
See Scenarios used in these climate projections. - The graphs show the trajectory of the change in the future; however, the uncertainty range of future projections widens as we project further into the future.
