Methodology
The current long term annual climate conditions for the 30-year period 1986-2015. The minimum daily temperature values simulated by six different global circulation models (GCMs), i.e. csiro, gfdl20, gfdl21, miroc, mpi, and ukmo were downscaled with the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) developed by CSIRO (Australia) and updated and modified by the CSIR (South Africa). The mean minimum daily temperature was calculated per year for each of the six downscaled GCMs for the 30-year period. The median (50th percentile) values are based on the mean 30-year minimum daily temperature per year from the the six downscaled GCMs. Data are in raster format with a 0.5º resolution using a projected latitude / longitude coordinate reference system with `+proj=utm +zone=48 +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0`.
