Regions of possible suitability for the A. albopictus mosquito according to different time periods and climatic thresholds. The horizontal and vertical striped pattern depicts climatic suitability for the 1960–1989 period based on the EOBS climate observations. The coloured pattern depicts the percentage of RCMs agreeing on the mosquito suitability/presence for the 2030–2050 period. (a) Suitability areas are defined for annual rainfall above 500 mm, annual temperatures above 11°C and January temperatures above 0°C (model 1). (b) Suitability is defined for model 2 output values above 80%. (c) The suitability is defined for adult mosquito activity above 18 weeks (model 3).
