  • Our Future Climate New Zealand is an interactive tool that explores projected temperature and rainfall maps for New Zealand and charts for a selection of locations and times forward to 2100. They are based on six global models (GCMs) and four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). Every combination of GCM and RCP can be explored. You can produce maps showing projected climate for New Zealand as a whole or charts showing projections for 15 towns or cities. Climate variables include temperature, hot days, frost days, precipitation (rainfall), wet days, very wet days, surface radiation and relative humidity. You can look at individual seasons or the whole year and can choose how far into the future you want to look – 2016-2035 (near future), 2046-2065 (mid-century) or 2081-2100 (end-century).
