Relationships between recent climatic trends (period 1982–2007) in annual averages of maximum temperature (a) and annual precipitation (b), and corresponding climatic averages over the same period. No significant association in maximum temperature (Table 2). Temporal precipitation changes are not significant (Table 1), but suggest a higher trend to increase in rainier contexts. See manuscript (Fig. 4c, d in the manuscript) for variations in minimum and mean temperatures
