Fig. S1. Time series of area-averaged values of annual maximum of daily minimum
temperatures (TNx) in the different data sets over global land and four continental subregions, actual values (left) and anomalies from the 1981-2000 average (right). Units: °C.

Fig. S4. Maps of linear decadal trends in TXn during 1979-2010 (ERA-40 ends in 2001),
unit: °C decade-1. Trends are calculated only for land grid boxes which have at least ten years
of data, hatching indicates significant trends (p ≤ 0.05, Mann-Kendall test). The mask on the
bottom right panel shows the grid boxes which provide almost complete time series (30 out
of 32 years) in all gridded data sets of in situ observations and is used for comparison of the
data sets. Continental sub-regions used for further analysis are also shown.

Fig. S7. As in Figure S4, but for annual maximum daily precipitation amounts (Rx1day)
during 1979-2008, unit: mm decade-1. The mask on the bottom right panel shows the grid
boxes which provide almost complete time series (28 out of 30 years) in all gridded data sets
of in situ observations and is used for comparison of the data sets. Continental sub-regions
used for further analysis are also shown.
