Our Future Climate New Zealand

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.

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. See further info on GCMs and RCPs and other terms used in the OFCNZ tool.
