Extended Data Fig. 4: Relationships between mean annual temperature (MAT) and accumulated intolerable heat extremes (for 2000-2020).

Extended Data Fig. 4

a. Number of days with maximum temperature above 40 °C calculated using ERA5 data (10 km spatial resolution, n = 2287025). b. Number of days with maximum wet bulb temperature (WBT) above 28 °C calculated using bias corrected data from an ensemble of six CMIP6 models (2.8° spatial resolution, n = 49152). Red curves represent running means (with a bin width of 2 °C and step of 0.5 °C); black vertical lines mark 29 °C MAT. See Methods for further details of models and calculations.
