That includes parts of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil that are major growers of soybeans and other global commodities. The IPCC has a medium or high-level confidence that many important agricultural regions around the world will see more droughts or extreme rain. Should the world become 4 degrees Celsius hotter, as could happen in a high-emissions scenario, those heat waves would happen every one to two years.Ĭarolina Vera, another report author and a physical climate scientist at University of Buenos Aires and Argentina's main agency for science research (CONICET), said there is also an increasing likelihood that multiple extreme weather events could happen at the same time.įor example, extreme heat, drought and high winds - conditions that could feed wildfires - are more likely to happen at the same time. Twice in a century heat waves could happen roughly every six years with 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, a level which the report says could be surpassed within two decades. Heat waves show stronger increases in frequency with warming than all other extreme events. The future looks even grimmer, with more warming meaning more frequent extreme events. "The heat wave in Canada, fires in California, floods in Germany, floods in China, droughts in central Brazil make it very, very clear that climate extremes are having a very heavy toll," said Paulo Artaxo, a lead author of the report and an environmental physicist and the University of Sao Paulo. Pacific Northwest killing hundreds in June and Brazil currently experiencing its worst drought in 91 years. Scientists emphasized that these effects of climate change are already here, with events like the heat wave in the U.S. Previously once-in-a-decade droughts could happen every five or six years. The report found that once-in-a-decade heavy rain events are now 1.3 times more likely and 6.7% wetter, compared with the 50 years up to 1900 when major human-driven warming started to occur. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry said. Measured against the average temperatures, the season is not so icy and feels milder, as there are fewer rainy days than in Germany."As the IPCC makes plain, the impacts of the climate crisis, from extreme heat to wildfires to intense rainfall and flooding, will only continue to intensify unless we choose another course for ourselves and generations to come," U.S. Even in December and January, mild daytime temperatures of around ten degrees Celsius can occur.

Daytime temperatures do not drop below freezing in winter. The hours of sunshine in summer are nine to eleven. In winter, sunshine and hours of sun are only minimally reduced to around eight hours per day. Those who can endure the heat and almost endless sunshine with many hours of sunshine or who want to spend most of their time in casinos can also consider midsummer as a travel time. Especially when traveling between June and September, it is often so warm that you can hardly stay outside of the shade, and the low humidity is a physical problem for many people. According to the weather forecast, the minimum temperature in the summer months is still over 17 degrees Celsius.Īccording to the climate table, the optimal travel time for Las Vegas is in April, May, October or November, i.e. Even in the shade it is then hot, and the rare rainfall does not provide any expected cooling.

In midsummer, the climate diagram sometimes shows average values of around 30 to 33 degrees Celsius, the maximum temperature rises to just under or over 40 degrees Celsius. The average temperatures are very high, especially in the summer months. The humidity is also very low in midsummer with around 15 to 25 percent, in the winter months it increases to around 30 to 50 percent. In the winter months the precipitation only increases to 10 to 20 mm. In the summer months, the climate diagram and weather forecast show very little precipitation, the number of rainy days then often only rises to around three to five, the amount of precipitation is below 10 mm. The average values show that there are never more than seven rainy days per month, which can be found mainly in the winter months. The city in the desert is subject to very little precipitation and if it is, then only with a small amount of precipitation.
