Simulated changes in winter (DJF) and summer (JJA) precipitation from the period 1961-1990 to 2071-2100. Results from the Rossby Centre regional climate model are shown. To the left boundary conditions from the Hadley Centre and to the right boundary conditions from the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology are used.
