What does this measure?

This indicator measures the number of days with temperatures above 90°F and below 32°F. It compares historical conditions from a baseline period (1976-2005) with a projected future period (2035-2064). This data is used to illustrate the impact of climate change on a local or regional level.

Summary Statement

The data reveals a stark change in temperature trends. It projects a significant increase in the number of days above 90°F, from a historical average of 9.5 days to a projected 29.6 days. Conversely, the number of days below 32°F is expected to decrease substantially, from a historical average of 136.4 days to a projected 108.7 days (-27.7 days), indicating a milder winter season.
