Days with Temperatures over 105F
These maps are based upon weighted average values of the 16 global climate models used for the Fifth National Climate Assessment. They show the annual number of days with maximum temperatures over 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Map 1 shows that in 2025 there are a low number of very hot days across the entire state.
Map 2 is the traditional business-as-usual scenario with a very low level of climate action. As a result of minimal climate action, the number of very hot days increases across the state.
Map 3 shows that with moderate climate action (net zero GHG emissions by 2050) there will still be few very hot days across the state.>
Map 4 shows the results of an expansion of fossil fuel use, and a dramatic increase in extremely hot days across the state.
Number of Days with Rainfall over 2 Inches
These maps are based upon weighted average values of the 16 global climate models used for the Fifth National Climate Assessment. They show the annual number of days with high rainfall and danger of flooding.
Map 1 shows that in 2025 most of the state experiences 0 to 4 days of extreme rainfall.
Map 2 is the traditional business-as-usual scenario with a very low level of climate action. It shows a substantial increase in extreme rainfall days across the entire state.
Map 3 shows that with moderate climate action (net zero GHG emissions by 2050) we still see an increase in high-rainfall days, but not as substantial as we see with business-as-usual.>
Map 4 shows the results of an expansion of fossil fuel use. Under this scenario, Georgia will see fewer days of extreme rainfall than with business-as-usual, but about the same as with moderate climate action.
Consecutive Days without Rainfall
These maps are based upon weighted average values of the 16 global climate models used for the Fifth National Climate Assessment. They show the annual number of days without rainfall.
Map 1 shows that in 2025 there is currently a scattered set of Georgia locations susceptible to drought, the areas colored in red. .
Map 2 is the traditional business-as-usual scenario with a very low level of climate action. Due to a projected overall increase in Georgia precipitation, there are fewer areas susceptible to drought.
Map 3 shows that with moderate climate action (net zero GHG emissions by 2050) will result is a reduction of drought-susceptible areas compared to 2025, but not as large a reduction as projected by business-as-usual.>
Map 4 shows that an expansion of fossil fuel use will substantially increase the state’s likelihood of drought, especially in areas around Augusta.
