Share of extremely warm DJF days (TX95) from observations over the period 1961–2016 (green dots), from historical RCM simulations over the period 1951–2005 (gray line), and from RCM projections over the period 2005–2100 (blue line for RCP4.5; red line for RCP8.5). TX95 values correspond to the percentage of DJF days exceeding the 95th percentile of the TMAX anomaly distribution corresponding to the base period. The trend line (as well as the decadal trend computed using observations over the period 1961–2016) is also shown in each plot. (a) Merida; (b) San Fernando; (c) Rochambeau; (d) Iquique; (e) Reconquista; (f) Santiago; (g) Buenos Aires; (h) Puerto Montt; (i) Rio Gallegos. Plots were generated by using Python’s Matplotlib Library92.
