    How to read this chart

    The bar chart displays the outputs of each of the 10 NARCliM models averaged for the viewing options you have chosen.

    The vertical length of the WHITE BAR shows the spread of values from the 10 models.

    Each horizontal THIN BLACK LINE is the average for one single model for the region. There are 10 bars, one for each of the 10 models.

    The THICK BLUE LINE is the average of all 10 models.

    The DOTTED RED LINE represents zero change in the variable.

    How to use the climate projections map

    Select the region, climate variables and timescale that you want to explore from the left Viewing menu.

    Detailed Frequently Asked Questions are also available for your assistance.

    The map can be viewed in a Region view or Grid view:

    • In Region view you can select a region and see more information on the average value of the region for all climate variables.
    • In Grid view you can see values for each 4km grid for all variables. Select a grid square to view the value of the variables for that location.

    The projections data underpinning this map were developed by the NSW and Australian regional climate modelling (NARCliM) project.
