results, referred to as the “new” projections. The maps presented here cover all four seasons, whereas those in Harris et al (2022) were mainly restricted to winter and summer. Here, we show projected changes for the RCP4.5 scenario during 2040-2059 as well as covering RCP8.5 responses for 2070-2089
