Climate change and spatio-temporal trend analysis of climate extremes in the homogeneous climatic zones of Pakistan during 1962-2019

1962–1990 to 1991–2019. The distribution of CDD increased from 75 to 92 during 1962–1990 to 1991–2019. The number of FD0 reduced considerably from 8 to 2 during 1962–1990 to 1991–2019 (Fig 10). Fig 7. Spatial distribution of changes during 1991–2019 with respect to 1962–1990 of different climate extremes across Pakistan. The extremes are PRCPTOT, R95P, and R99P. The legend used in the first panel is applicable to all parts of this figure. The shapefile used for this figure is available at https://data.humdata.org/dataset/ pakistan-union-council-boundaries-along-with-other-admin-boundaries-dataset. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0271626.g007 Fig 8. Number of consecutive wet days (CWD) for each climate zone and two independent durations. In each part of the figure, on x-axis and y-axis, years and number of days are mentioned. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0271626.g008 PLOS ONE Climate change and extremes analysis using observed data (1962-2019) over Pakistan PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0271626 July 27, 2022 14 / 27
