Values are coefficient estimates from a multinomial logistic regression

a

Deviation of annual mean temperature from long-term mean (°C), 4 year mean

b

Deviation of annual rainfall from long-term mean (cm), 4 year mean

c

Monsoon onset delay (days), 4 year mean

All models also include community fixed effects
