2023 Monitoring Report on the German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change read more
The chart shows the projected range of change in the annual precipitation total for the periods from 2031 to 2060 and 2071 to 2100 in relation to the multi-annual mean of the years from 1971 to 2000 in per cent. In this context, consideration is given to the climate protection scenario RCP 2.6 on one hand and the high emissions scenario RCP 8.5 on the other. Within the climate protection scenario, the projected change in the annual precipitation total – compared to the mean value of the period from 1971 to 2000 – ranges from –0.5 to 7 per cent in the period of 2031 to 2060, and from –2.5 to 5 per cent in the period of 2071 to 2100. Within the high emissions scenario, the projected change in the annual precipitation total – compared to the mean value for the period of 1971 to 2000 – ranges from -1 to just under 10 per cent in the period of 2031 to 2060 and from 0 to 16.5 per cent in the period of 2071 to 2100.
