Spatial patterns of standardized anomalies of precipitation (P ‐ upper panels), LST (L ‐ middle panels) and solar radiation (R ‐ lower panels) relative to 2000–2015, during 2005 (JJAS ‐ left panels), 2010 (JJAS ‐ central panels) and 2015 (ONDJ ‐ right panels). Record‐breaking of minimum precipitation and maximum LST and solar radiation values for the 15‐year period are demarked by contour lines.
