                         for the regional synthesis of observed and modelled climate and 
                         climate change information. A popular example is the series of 
                         reference regions used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 
                         Change (IPCC) Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme 
                         Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Adaptation (SREX). The 
                         SREX regions were slightly modified for the Fifth Assessment 
                         Report of the IPCC and used for reporting subcontinental observed 
                         and projected changes over a reduced number (33) of 
                         climatologically consistent regions encompassing a representative 
                         number of grid boxes. These regions are intended to allow analysis 
                         of atmospheric data over broad land or ocean regions and have been 
                         used as the basis for several popular spatially aggregated 
                         datasets, such as the Seasonal Mean Temperature and Precipitation 
                         in IPCC Regions for CMIP5 dataset. We present an updated version 
                         of the reference regions for the analysis of new observed and 
                         simulated datasets (including CMIP6) which offer an opportunity 
                         for refinement due to the higher atmospheric model resolution. As 
                         a result, the number of land and ocean regions is increased to 46 
                         and 15, respectively, better representing consistent regional 
                         climate features. The paper describes the rationale for the 
                         definition of the new regions and analyses their homogeneity. The 
                         regions are defined as polygons and are provided as coordinates 
                         and a shapefile together with companion R and Python notebooks to 
                         illustrate their use in practical problems (e.g. calculating 
                         regional averages).We also describe the generation of a new 
                         dataset with monthly temperature and precipitation, spatially 
                         aggregated in the new regions, currently for CMIP5 and CMIP6, to 
                         be extended to other datasets in the future (including 
                         observations). The use of these reference regions, dataset and 
                         code is illustrated through a worked example using scatter plots 
                         to offer guidance on the likely range of future climate change at 
                         the scale of the reference regions. The regions, datasets and code
