Developing climate messages for Zimbabwe using multiple sources of evidence
Climate feature | Key messages | Source |
Past climate variability | High variability, frequent drought years and flood events | Historical rainfall records (CRU data) |
Past climate trends | Increasing temperatures (~0.1°C/decade) | Historical temperature and rainfall records (CRU data) |
Future climate trends | Increasing temperatures of around 2.5°C by the 2050s Possible decrease in rainfall particularly during the onset stage of the rainy season (Sep- Nov) | CMIP3 GCM multi-model projections (for SRES A2 emissions scenario) and CSAG downscaled projections available in CIP |
For more details on the future climate trends for temperature and precipitation, based on projections from 10 Global Climate Models as well as downscaled projections for 2 stations, read the full article that accompanies this placemark: Zimbabwe Climate Analysis
