Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature
for Alabama. Observed data are for 1900–2018. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two
possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse
gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions)1. Temperatures in Alabama (orange line) were high in the
1920s and 1930s then decreased by about 2°F into the 1960s and 1970s. Temperatures
have increased by about 1.5°F since the 1970s. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of
models. Observed annual temperatures are generally within the envelope of model
simulations of the historical period (gray shading), but on the very low end. However, for summer daytime maximum temperatures, which have decreased
over the 20th century, this localized cooling is not well simulated by climate models. If Alabama were to continue to follow the low
end of model projected temperatures, by the end of the 21st century
average temperatures would be about as warm as the hottest historical
year under a lower emissions scenario (green shading) and about 4°F
warmer than the hottest historical year under a high emissions
scenario (red shading). Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

the middle of the 21st century compared to the late 20th century under
a higher emissions pathway. Hatching represents areas where the
majority of climate models indicate a statistically significant change. The
southeastern United States, including Alabama, is in a transition zone
between projected high latitude increases and subtropical decreases in
precipitation and, as such, future precipitation changes are uncertain.

Projections include the six U.S. Interagency Sea Level Rise Task Force GMSL scenarios (navy blue, royal blue, cyan, green, orange, and red curves) relative to historical geological, tide gauge and satellite altimeter GMSL reconstructions from 1800–2015 (black and magenta lines) and the very likely ranges in 2100 under both lower and higher emissions futures (teal and dark red boxes). Global sea level rise projections range from 1 to 8 feet by 2100, with a likely range of 1 to 4 feet. Source: Adapted from Sweet et al. 2017.'

caption: 'Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air temperature for Mississippi. Observed data are for 1900–2018. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions)1. Temperatures in Mississippi (orange line) were warmest in the 1920s and 1930s and coolest in the 1960s through the 1980s. Temperatures have remained near or slightly above average since the 1990s. Shading indicates the range of annual temperatures from the set of models. Observed temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the historical period (gray shading), but on the very low end. If Mississippi were to continue to follow the low end of model projected temperatures, by the end of the 21st century temperatures would average about as warm as the hottest historical year under a lower emissions scenario and about 4°F warmer than the hottest historical year under a higher emissions scenario.

The observed number of very warm nights (annual
number of days with minimum temperature at or above 75°F) for
1900–2018, averaged over 5-year periods (bars; last bar represents
4-year average). Filled circles connected to black line segments
show annual values. These values are averages from 16 long-term
reporting stations. The highest 5-year average occurred during the
2010–2014 period and was slightly above the previous record set
in the 1930–1934 period. The dark horizontal line is the long-term
average of 9.9 days per year. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.
