A new climate report has revealed that 1,001 U.S cities will experience much warmer Summers by 2100 if current emission trends continue.
Climate Central, a non-profit group conducted the analysis that showed Summer temperatures would increase by seven to ten degrees, with some cities experiencing as much as a 12-degree increase by 2100.
The climate report predicted Summers in Boston will range from heat that feels like Miami to other years more closely resembing Middle Easterns conditions.
Researchers have calculated that city temperatures are rising by 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit every ten years. Similarly, a separate temperature analysis published last month claimed that the southwest and northwest corners of the United States are heating faster than other areas.
"Summer temperatures in most American cities are going to feel like summers now in Texas and Florida – very, very hot," said Alyson Kenward, lead researcher of the study.
Using an interactive map, researchers showed that Las Vegas and Phoenix will be hit the hardest with average temperatures reaching 111 degrees. In Phoenix, where summers have already reached 114 degrees, it will begin to feel like Kuwait City.
These projections will transpire if current greenhouse emissions continue to increase. But, researchers clarified, even if emissions are decreased, the United States is still likely experience warmer Summer temperatures.
The analysis only focused on daytime summer temperature; factors such as humidity and dew point levels we excluded.
