a, d, g 2015–2045, b, e, h 2045–2075, and c, f, i 2075–2099. This analysis utilizes the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic with fuzzy spatial weighting to identify significant changes in precipitation patterns across the region. Red areas indicate zones of statistically significant increases in precipitation (e.g., “Hot to Hot”), while blue shades show areas of drying (e.g., “Cold to Cold”). The gray category represents areas with no significant change.
