CMIP6 Ensemble Mean Near Surface Air Temperature for Summer generated from NOAA Climate Change Web Portal.
Mid-century ssp585 temperature change (upper-right panel) is predicted to be largest over interior North America in summer. Changes greater than 4 degrees centigrade fill all latitudes between 35N-60N. Largest changes are over the northern Rockies / high plains of northern US and southern Canada.
CMIP6 Ensemble Mean Near Surface Air Temperature for Winter generated from NOAA Climate Change Web Portal.
Mid-century ssp585 temperature change (upper-right panel) is predicted to be largest over higher latitudes of North America in winter. Winter warming in the US is largest (4-5 degrees C) in the mid-west and great lakes regions. Interannual variablility (lower-right panel) is reduced (blue colors) in mid-century winter where seasonal snowfall (or sea ice) is less common.
