Climate Explorer
Explore past, present, and projected future climate in easy-to-understand maps and graphs. The site shows climate data from 1950 through 2100 for every county in the United States. Projections are from the CMIP5 global climate modeling effort, downscaled according to the Localized Constructed Analogs (LOCA) protocol.
Climate Explorer provides contextualized information for interpreting each of its interactive graphs. Look for the "How to read" buttons to reveal helpful information below each graph. Text explanations in the tool's About page as well as the Glossary and FAQ page can also help users make meaning of the data and envision the conditions projected for the future.
