Fig. 9: Summary chart of major hotspot changes.
From: Quantifying the role of variability in future intensification of heat extremes
Schematic illustration of future changes in the magnitude and frequency of heat extremes over the hotspot zones at +3K warming (Supplementary Table 2), and their relations with changes in the underlying thermal distributions. A theoretical density function allowing skewness (where appropriate) is used to represent the data47,61. ΔTXx and ΔTNn denote the change in the hottest days and the coldest nights respectively, ΔEP-99th the change in hot day probabilities and ΔT the change in annual mean temperatures.
