UK-wide maps
The maps show a range of climate that we might expect, for a variety of climate variables, three emissions scenarios, three time periods and a range of probability levels.
Click on a map to open a larger, .png version, or on the Link to customisable output to open the same map in the output page of the UKCP09 User Interface. From there you can edit the parameters to produce your own image. Please note that multiple maps are needed to show the range of possible outcomes - groups of maps showing the 10, 50 & 90% probability levels are available in .png format for use in presentations.
For further information on the UKCP09 projections:
- go to on how the climate projections be used;
- read the Briefing report;
- have a look at the Case studies to see how other organisations have used UKCP09
Select a variable and emissions scenario from the table - clicking on a map will take you to a page with a range of probabilities and time periods for your selection.
