How Much Hotter Is Your Hometown Than When You Were Born?

As the world warms because of human-induced climate change, most of us can expect to see more days when temperatures hit 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher.  The New York Times has published an interesting interactive site that shows how the temperature of your hometown has changed (the dataset goes back to 1960) and how much hotter it may get by the end of this century. The graph above shows the projected change in my hometown, Montreal, between 1960 and 2089.
