... are now about 5°C higher than the average summer temperatures of the Fraser River. Historically, winter conditions contributing to winter snowpack, maximum streamflow in spring, and maintenance of summer and even winter flows have varied greatly over the last century.

... The fact that the Hadley 2 model projects wetter conditions than observed his torically especially in summer and fall, while the Max Planck model projects dryer conditions in the summer and fall, demon strates the uncertainties associated with climate change model projections of changes in precipitation associated with tempera ture increases. As noted, the models are more consistent in pro jecting temperature increases.
