The NGO Climate Central has created an interactive graph that shows what summer could look like in the future in each of the cities compared to the temperatures of today’s cities.
Madrid (Spain), for example, would have an average temperature of 36.4ºC in 2100 like Erbil (Iraq).
Higher temperatures in cities
Sofia (Bulgaria) will show the largest overall temperature change, as it would increase by about 8.4 ºC on average. Taking into account that currently around 54% of the world’s population lives in cities, and by 2050 the population of cities is expected to grow by 2.5 billion people , we are going to face unprecedentedly high temperatures.
In this graph you can see the temperatures by cities in more detail:
