Short summary
Climate change impacts on a hydrologic phenomenon termed the mid-summer drought (MSD), affecting water and food security of smallholder farmers in Central America, depends on how the MSD was defined. We used many climate model projections and MSD definitions to quantify the sources of uncertainty in future MSD characteristics in Nicaragua for varying levels of global warming. We found that the definition can change where the MSD occurs but it does not add substantially to the total uncertainty.
