The datasets contains six folders. Each of them contains two folders: (a) "precipitation_indices" containing all precipitation indices and (b) "temperature_indices" containing all temperature indices for the African domain analysed in this study.

  (i) "historical"      This folder contains all historical precipitation and temperature indices analysed.

 (ii) "ssp245"      This folder contains all ssp245 precipitation and temperature indices analysed.

(iii) "ssp245_MCB_R1"      This folder contains all ssp245+MCB_R1 (MCB over Northeast Pacific: MCB_NEP) precipitation and temperature indices analysed.

 (iv) "ssp245_MCB_R2"      This folder contains all ssp245+MCB_R2 (MCB over Southeast Pacific: MCB_SEP) precipitation and temperature indices analysed.

  (v) "ssp245_MCB_R3"      This folder contains all ssp245+MCB_R2 (MCB over Southeast Atlantic: MCB_SEA) precipitation and temperature indices analysed.

 (vi) "ssp245_MCB_R1R2R3"      This folder contains all ssp245+R1R2R3 (MCB simultaneously over Northeast Pacific, Southeast Pacific, and Southeast Atlantic: MCB_ALL) precipitation and temperature indices analysed.
