Title
Annual Precipitation
Abstract
<p>Precipitation patterns that can influence building fabric degradation rates are projected to shift according to the Met Office Hadley Centre climate models. To help illustrate these patterns, the cumulative annual precipitation (mm) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.</p> <p>Additional information is available here:&nbsp;<a
