Histograms of the daily DJF TMAX anomalies rendered by the RCMs over the base period 1961–1990 (blue histograms) as well as over the period 2046–2055 (green histograms for RCP 4.5; red histograms for RCP8.5). (a) Caracas; (b) Bogotá; (c) Guayaquil; (d) Fortaleza; (e) Lima; (f) Santa Cruz; (g) Sao Paulo; (h) Santiago; (i) Buenos Aires. The dotted vertical line in each plot indicates the 95th percentile of the TMAX anomaly distribution corresponding to the base period. Also shown in the upper left corner of each plot and for each histogram: the standard deviation (STD); the share of extremely warm DJF days (TX95); and the shift in the mean (TXM), 1961–1990 to 2046–2055, of the DJF TMAX anomalies. Plots were generated by using Python’s Matplotlib Library92.
