Figure 13. Projected future changes in the number of days of Extreme Maximum Temperatures (threshold temperature of 95°F) compared to preindustrial levels (1851-1900) based on GWL 1.5 (global temperature increase of 2.7°F) and GWL 2 (global temperature increase of 3.6°F). Note that this is not the total number of days, as presented in the table above, but the number of additional days where temperatures will reach ≥ 95°F. Figure created from data in the ‘Atlas of the 5 th National Climate Assessment” web tool (National Climate Assessment Interactive Atlas; USGCRP et al. 2024).
