Fig. 6: Dry-season daily surface temperature anomalies and precipitation over the SPS.

Daily mean temperature (DMT) anomalies in the state mesoregions and daily total precipitation as depicted by the (a) time series and (b) maximum DMT anomaly in each grid cell between September 27th and October 7th. Anomalies were computed as the difference between the mean daily temperature in 2020 and the base period (1981–2010) for each mesoregion. The PMP1, PMP2, and PMP3 periods are represented by the gray bars in (a). Median and IQ intervals were calculated considering the average temperatures from each mesoregion.
