Report: Phoenix average summer temp will hit 114 degrees by 2100

Can you imagine an average temperature of 114.08 degrees in the shade, all summer long? Luckily, most of us won't be here by the time that's expected to happen.

That's set to be the new normal for Phoenix summertime temperatures come 2100, according to a July 9 report from Climate Central.

Really though, that's only a 10-degree jump from the 103.96 degree average now. What's another 10 degrees once you've already hit the triple digits?

It's enough to make Arizona's climate feel like present-day Kuwait, according to the report. But with Kuwait's thunderstorms, haboobs and a highest recorded temperature of 129.9 degrees, it seems Arizona isn't all that different.

Climate Central's report details the average summer high temperatures, June through August, for 1,001 cities.

It reveals that Boston (79 degrees) will eventually feel a whole lot more like Miami (89 degrees) and North Las Vegas (102 degrees) will feel more like Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (111 degrees), by the beginning of the next century.

The report included 16 Arizona cities and towns.

Flagstaff will see a 10-degree rise in temperatures, making it similar to summertime temperatures in New Orleans (the report doesn't take humidity was into account).

Scottsdale and Tucson will also see a 10-degree hike. Their new summertime temperature, 109 degrees, will feel like you're living in present day Abu Dhabi.

On average, the U.S. will see an overall rise in temperatures between seven and 10 degrees, although some cities in the Northwest, Great Plains and Midwest, will have increases as high as 12 degrees.

Climate Central based its predictions on carbon emissions data from Oregon State University's PRISM Climate Group, which measured summer high temperatures averages between 1986 and 2005.

The projected summer high temperatures were calculated based on current emissions trends, though even with moderate to dramatic emissions cuts, U.S. cities will still see the same summer warming effects, according to the report.
