Future (end-of-century) change to the “warm type” thunderstorms for June, July and August (JJA, a September, October, and November (SON, c and whole year (e). Warm type thunderstorms are defined using the same severe hail potential proxy but with freezing level height values between 4500 and 5500 m, and with no shear criteria. b, d, and f are the same but for changes in “warm type” thunderstorms, which have stronger updraughts in the hail growth zone (using 15 m s-1 threshold instead of 10 m s-1).
