climate+ offers consistent climate prediction data in hourly resolution until the end of the 21st century for air temperature, precipitation. All data can be downloaded as CSV files, and can be easily imported into various applications such as Microsoft® Excel or OpenOffice.

The hourly time series of air temperature and precipitation can be downloaded for each RCP emission scenario, and for the desired time period (e.g., 2071 - 2080). Note that these are synthetic data, i.e., they can be used for statistical applications but NOT to forecast the weather for a specific point in time (e.g., 21st January 2071 10:00 UTC).

We provide three time series: “Low”, “Medium” and “High” because it is scientifically impossible to forecast precipitation and air temperature for a specific point in time this far in the future. This method helps the users to understand the uncertainty range within the interannual variability.

The classification of the “Low”, “Medium” and “High” values is based on yearly average air temperatures of the 30-year reference period.
