  • Proximity to threshold  – shows for each year the difference between the variable and the threshold. This layer displays how far each Member State is from the threshold value for the selected year in the time slider.
  • Below threshold – a binary display showing the Member States falling below the threshold for the selected year in the time slider (Figure 2).
  • Threshold (10th percentile) – displays the 10th percentile value for each Member State for the selected year in the time slider. The 10th percentile means that the winter (JFM) / summer (JJA) belongs to the 10% coldest / driest using the 30-years reference period 1991-2020 obtained from ERA5 monthly and then seasonally averaged data
  • Mean temperature (Jan-Feb-Mar)/ Total precipitation (Jun-Jul-Aug) – the default map selection - displays the variable from the dropdown menu for the selected year in the time slider (Figure 1).

Clicking on a Member State in the interactive map will open a detailed view for that Member State and present a timeseries graph – line- or bar-graph depending on the variable selected (e.g. Figure 3, right panel). The graph presents the values calculated for each year together with the threshold identified by the 10th percentile (red line). The exceptionally dry summers are identified by the red bars situated below the threshold line.
