text: land surface sees an increase in annual daily maximum temperature which is similar to the global 
  annual mean temperature increase. In the IPSL-driven simulations, increases in TXx substantially 
  larger than the GWL are conﬁned to the eastern USA, Europe and part of northeast Asia. By 
  contrast, the GFDL-driven simulation shows much of the global land surface seeing increases 
  in annual daily maximum temperature larger than the global mean warming. Much of the mid- 
  latitudes experience an increase in TXx of over 4°C. The very largest increases of 5°C or more 
  are seen in central North America, Europe and northwestern Asia. Similar results are seen in the 
  MIROC and ACCESS models. 
  
  The percentage of days exceeding the 90th percentile of daily maximum temperature increase 
  more in tropical areas (ﬁgure 3). Some areas show over 60% of days above this level at 2°C global 
  warming compared with present day, whereas in the mid-latitudes between 20% and 30% of days 
  exceed this level. The global mean is between 20% and 30% in all ensemble members (table 3).
