Extreme Heat Future Projections

This tool uses climate models to project the number of days over 100°F. Three scenarios are used to project extreme heat, hot/dry, warm/wet and the central tendency which is the average of all climate models used. Two time periods can be selected, 2035 and 2060. Select the Extreme Heat tab at the top of the page. Future projections of etreme heat are shown on a map. At the top left of the page, three scenarios (hot/dry, warm/wet and central) can be selected for two time periods (2035 and 2060). The map shows the number of days each year with temperatures greater than 100°F. This data is provided by the Environmental Protection Agency CREAT Climate Scenarios Projections Maps.
