The columns of maps from left to right refer to the SSPs 245, 370, and 585, while the rows show different windspeed intensities from top to bottom, corresponding to categories 1–2, 3–4, and 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. For points which have previously been affected by the given windspeed intensity at least once in 250 years the relative change in frequency is shown on a continuous color scale (blue to yellow). Points which are projected to be newly affected by a given windspeed intensity at least once in 250 years by 2100 are shown in a separate color (red).
