Canada's Changing Climate Report: Regional Climate Extreme Projections

Projections for Canada's weather and climate extremes based on an ensemble of 26 downscaled CMIP6 models. The supplementary tables provide regional values and 80% uncertainty ranges for climate extreme indices. The data is produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada as supplementary material for the 2026 Canada's Changing Climate Report.

Use Cases

• Assessing future changes in climate extremes based on regional index values.
• Quantifying uncertainty in climate projections based on the provided 80% uncertainty ranges.
• Modeling regional climate impacts using downscaled and bias-corrected model output.

Strengths

• Based on an ensemble of 26 downscaled and bias-corrected climate models.
• Provides 80% uncertainty ranges for climate extreme indices.
• Data is produced by a national environmental agency (Environment and Climate Change Canada).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
