NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/4aed4496-f9e2-494d-a0f9-adc297f033a4 The data deposited here underlie an assessment of the exposure of UK habitats to climate change, and a linked assessment of how well current UK plant monitoring schemes cover these exposure gradients (see Wilson & Pescott, 2023 in press). The current dataset consists of spatially explicit (1 km gridded) classifications of predicted Köppen-Geiger climate types (Peel et al., 2007), based on both past (observed) and future (modelled) climate data.

(HadUK-Grid is a gridded data product interpolated from observational weather station records.) UKCP18 Local data for the coming decades (2021–2040) and later 21st century (2061–2080) were downloaded at 5 x 5 km resolution and resampled to 1 km resolution using bilinear interpolation to match the HadUK-Grid data. The UKCP18 local data refers to the local-scale climate projections offered by the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) project. The UKCP18 Local (2.2 km) dataset used here consists of 12 simulations of a convection-permitting model; the 12-member ensemble mean was used in this study, since it was found to come consistently closer to observed climate patterns over that of any individual model run. These data were used to classify UK and the Isle of Man 1 km grid squares in different time periods according to standard Köppen-Geiger climate type definitions.
