Temperature Changes from 2091 to 2100 (June to August and December to February): Using an "ensemble" of 18 global climate models and the moderate "A1B" emissions scenario, researchers at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) predict warming in the Southwest at the end of this century of approximately 7-8 degrees F for summer (June-August) and 5-7 degrees F for winter (December-February).
