KEY FACTS
KEY FACTS
- Summers have been heating up for decades and they’ll only get hotter if heat-trapping pollution continues — making future summers in Minneapolis feel more like current summers in Tulsa.
- With high levels of heat-trapping pollution, future summer high temperatures in 247 major U.S. cities would heat up by an average of 3.6°F by 2060 and 7.9°F by 2100.
- For many cities, summer temperatures in 2100 would be closer to current conditions in hotter locations hundreds of miles to the south.
- For 16 U.S. cities, there is no equivalent in North America to how hot they'd be in 2100. Their future summers are more similar to current conditions in Pakistan, the Middle East, and North Africa.
