(A) Estimated trends of the annual mean TXx values between 1979 and 2013 from the EWEMBI dataset. (B) Difference in the decadal averages of TXx between the 2° and 1.5°C worlds. (C) Same as (B) but between the 3° and 1.5°C worlds. (D) Same as (C) but between the 3° and 2°C worlds. The differences in (B), (C), and (D) are averages across 30 bias-corrected ensemble members of Hadley Centre Atmospheric Model version 3P (HadAM3P). Stippling indicates regions where neither trends nor differences are significant at the 5% significance level using the two-sigma test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, respectively. The markers indicate the locations of the cities included in this study.
