Abstract Regionally there are large differences between the climate models, especially in the projections for future precipitation amounts. On a regional scale, one model predicts an increase in precipitation whereas another model predicts a decrease. We should therefore conclude that the outcome of the climate models is not yet accurate enough for a regional interpretation.
