Lithuania’s Hydrometeorological Service (Meteo LT) has launched a interactive website where users can view and download data on past climate conditions and projected changes up to 2100 for every municipality in the country.
The project provides more than 30 climate indicators, ranging from average air temperatures and precipitation levels to the frequency of hot and cold days, droughts and strong winds, Meteo LT said in a press release.
Users can explore how these indicators may change by 2100, depending on the future trajectory of the global economy and the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. The changes are displayed on an interactive map and graph.
The projections are based on data from the international Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and two globally recognised future scenarios: SSP2-4.5, which assumes medium emissions, and SSP3-7.0, which assumes high emissions.
For each indicator, the portal provides the average results from an ensemble of several dozen climate models.
The data presented are climate projections, not weather forecasts. They show long-term trends rather than the weather expected on specific days or in particular years.
