How hot will it get?

Click on a Washington county to see projections for the number of days temperatures will rise to 95 degrees or higher in the future. Moderate values reflect projections for temperatures if countries take some steps to address emissions. The measure roughly corresponds to what countries agreed to in the Paris climate deal. The high emissions scenario assumes steady population growth and only modest action on climate change.
