  - This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between air temperature
    and convection by analyzing the characteristics of rainfall at the storm and convective
    rain cell scales. High spatial–temporal resolution (1 km, 5 min) estimates from
    a uniquely long weather radar record (24 years) were coupled with near-surface
    air temperature over Mediterranean and semiarid regions in the eastern Mediterranean.
    In the examined temperature range (5°–25°C), the peak intensity of individual
    convective rain cells was found to increase with temperature, but at a lower rate
    than the 7%°C−1 scaling expected from the Clausius–Clapeyron relation, while the
    area of the individual convective rain cells slightly decreases or, at most, remains
    unchanged. At the storm scale, the areal convective rainfall was found to increase
    with warmer temperatures, whereas the areal nonconvective rainfall and the stormwide
    area decrease. This suggests an enhanced moisture convergence from the stormwide
    extent toward the convective rain cells. Results indicate a reduction in the total
    rainfall amounts and an increased heterogeneity of the spatial structure of the
    storm rainfall for temperatures increasing up to 25°C. Thermodynamic conditions,
    analyzed using convective available potential energy, were determined to be similar
    between Mediterranean and semiarid regions. Limitations in the atmospheric moisture
    availability when shifting from Mediterranean to semiarid climates were detected
    and explain the suppression of the intensity of the convective rain cells when
    moving toward drier regions. The relationships obtained in this study are relevant
    for nearby regions characterized by Mediterranean and semiarid climates.@eng
