Climate variation recorded at the Llíria meteorological station (250 m asl, 39°39′50″N/0°39′14″W; owned by IVIA, http://riegos.ivia.es) located between the 2012 Andilla and Cortes fires (Valencia, Spain, eastern Iberian Peninsula). Boxplots show monthly variability in precipitation from 2000 to 2012 (left axis). Symbols represent monthly precipitation in 2013 (black circles) and 2014 (white triangles). Blue line shows mean monthly temperature (°C, right axis) from 2000 to 2012 (mean daily temperature averaged by month and year). Interannual variability in temperature (not shown) was much lower than in precipitation. Source: Pausas et al.16.
