What are climate scenarios?
Climate scenarios are consistent and plausible pictures of possible future climates. They are intended for use in studies exploring the impacts of climate change, and to formulate possible adaptation strategies. Climate scenarios are not long-term weather forecasts: they are not concerned with predicting the weather on a certain day. Rather, they provide information on the characteristics of the average weather and the chance of weather extremes.
