Visualizing Temperature Hotspots and Their Impact Using the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 Dataset
Climate events like tornadoes, hurricanes, and droughts are major twenty-first-century challenges. Mitigation efforts lag due to costly monitoring tools and complex data access. We present a dashboard with long-term temperature and weather trends, using nine global metrics from the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 dataset, projecting to 2100. Our analysis flags countries facing major wet-bulb temperature hikes, linking these to expected economic impacts. Initial findings suggest that, in a worst-case scenario, some Northern Hemisphere nations may experience over a 10°C wet-bulb temperature rise between 2020 and 2090, potentially causing GDP losses exceeding 30%.
