Future change in the contribution to the total precipitation is defined as a function of the peak precipitation intensity and duration of precipitation event, where an event is defined as a continuous period of precipitation exceeding 0.1 mm/h, for the ensemble mean of RCM (a), CPM (b) and CPM‐RCM difference (c). Fractional contribution is given by (joint probability of a given amount‐duration bin) × (mean bin precipitation amount) / (total precipitation over all bins), pooling all land points over the domain. Future changes or differences that are not significant at the 5% level are masked in grey.
