Figure 2.7 1 4°C GW climate analogues for three selected sites - Melbourne (top),
Nuriootpa (middle), and Dubbo (bottom) - based on annual maximum
temperature and precipitation

Notes
a Shown for each target site (dotted circle) are analogue sites for the hottest, driest
scenario (triangles); the mid-case scenario (hexagons); and the least hot and wettest
scenario (squares).
b Koppen climate zones for Australia are also shown.
