Evaluation of CMIP6 MME air temperature and humidity against ERA-5 reanalysis: (a) Linear trend in the seasonal daily maximum air temperature from ERA-5 (left) and the CMIP6 MMEM (right) for the boreal summer season for 1980–2014 (units of 10−2 K year−1). Regions where the trend is not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level are shaded in grey. The intercept and slope are obtained with the Theil-Sen estimator while the Mann–Kendall test is used for statistical significance. (b–c) are as (a) but for the daily minimum air temperature (10−2 K year−1) and daily-mean specific humidity (10−2 g kg−1 year−1), respectively. The corresponding plots for the boreal winter season are given in Supplementary Fig. 7.
