Text description of figure
For the high end of full IPCC range of global warming, this figure displays the projected changes in seasonal mean temperature across New Zealand (in degrees Celsius) relative to 1990 for the 2030s. Temperatures are expected to rise relatively uniformly across New Zealand: in spring, summer and autumn by 1.0 to 1.3 degrees, and by 1.5 or 1.6 degrees in winter.
