“By the end of this century, summers in most of the 1,001
cities we analyzed will feel like summers now in Texas and Florida (in
temperatures only, not humidity),” the report says.
Most cities in
Texas will feel like sun-scorched Phoenix and Gilbert, Ariz., among the
nation’s hottest cities today. Phoenix, in turn, will experience
temperatures comparable to those of Kuwait City.

For people in the U.S. then the biggest problem will not be the heat itself. The biggest problems I foresee as an intuitive is that that much heat increases winds too. So where winds might have been 20 to 40 miles an hour they then will be 40 to 80 miles per hour. And winds now at 40 to 80 miles per hour will be then 80 to 120 miles per hour and so on.
I'm sure you all have felt 80 miles per hour gusts but what about sustained winds of 80 to 120 miles per hour all night or all day long with gusts of 120 to 150 miles per hour. Just trying to stand up without tying yourself to a rope that is tied to a tree lighter people might blow away in sustained winds above 80 to 100 miles per hour.
I have experienced sustained winds with gusts above 100 miles per hour while climbing mountains at high altitude and I had to cover my face with plastic so the ice wouldn't cut away my face that was blowing in the winds at that speed. Also, I fell down a lot in the wind gusts and had to keep getting up. I was lucky because I was at at least 11,000 feet in altitude.
Imagine this at lower altitudes where air is denser and therefore is going to lift people off the ground and into a fence, house or tree at that speed.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
