Fig. 5. Projected change in annual outdoor days at Charlotte city in Southeast, United States. Trends in normalized annual outdoor days for Charlotte city for the period 1976-2100 derived from an ensemble mean of 32 NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 GCMs (top and middle) and MPI-ESM1-2-LR of the CMIP6 archive (bottom) under the historical and SSP5-8.5 scenarios using various definitions of outdoor days. The best-fit linear regression lines are shown. The number of annual outdoor days is normalized by the 1976-2005 mean. Various definitions and variables are indicated in each plot. Dry-bulb temperature is used to define outdoor days in top and middle plots.
