<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This dataset&nbsp; was produced in 2015,&nbsp; to provide current and projected values of monthly &nbsp;minimum and maximum temperature,&nbsp; and total rainfall.&nbsp; For each of these variables data are provided for 2015, 2020, 2050, and 2080, and for each year values are provided for three IPPC5 projection scenarios&nbsp; - rcp45, rcp65, and rcp85&nbsp; representing low medium and high increases in CO2 respectively.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The data were first used in Messina et al The many projected futures of Dengue.
