Abstract
All climate models predicted increasing trends for extreme temperature indices, maximum 1-day and 5-day precipitation (RX1day and RX5day), total wet day precipitation (PRCPTOT), very heavy precipitation days (R20mm), Summer Days (SU), and Tropical Nights (TR) and decreasing trend for Forest Days (FD) and Ice Days (ID) in 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s compared to present. CanRCM4 model did consistently project values in the upper range of the CMIP5 ensemble while the PRECIS ensemble was more in-line with the CMIP5 mean values. This difference may however be a function of different emission scenarios used.
