Another depressing climate forecast: More downpours, more heat waves
Filed under Uncategorized by david brooks at 7:15 am
Unlike the New England-based climate model predictions I talk about a dozen posts down, this one from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Texas Tech University, and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre is global. But a few conclusions affect us:
"Most areas above about 40 degrees north will see a significant jump inthe number of days with heavy precipitation (days with more than 0.40inches)." New Hampshire’s southern border is at about 42.5 degrees north.
"The average growing season could increase significantly across most of North America and Eurasia."
"The number of extremely warm nights and the length of heat waves willincrease significantly over nearly all land areas across the globe."
