Fig. 2: Severe hail potential and its change.
From: Future changes in severe hail across Europe, including regional emergence of warm-type thunderstorms
Severe hail potential in the current climate, and future (end-of-century) changes in severe hail potential, for December, January and February (DJF; a, and b, respectively), for March, April and May (MAM; c, d), for June, July and August (JJA; e, f), for September, October and November (SON; g, h) and for whole year (i, j). The current climate corresponds to 1998–2007, and future climate is a comparable 10-year simulation corresponding to year 2100 under RCP8.5. A smoothing has been applied by averaging the neighbouring ±25 grid points. 70 grids from each lateral boundary are excluded from the analysis to remove boundary artefacts. For the future change maps, only significant changes at the 10 percent level are shown, based on 1000 bootstraps. Grids with insignificant changes are masked in white.
