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 2080s. In each season there is a south to north increase in projected temperatures; in summer and spring the range is between 2.6 and 3.8 degrees, and for autumn and winter the range is between 3.2 and just over 4.0 degrees.
