Córdoba's climate in the 2050s
2041-2060 compared with 1991-2020, moderate emissions
By the 2050s, Córdoba's climate will still be more like its own today than any other large city's. The nearest other is Seville (Spain).
+1.6°C
Mean temperature over the year
+2.3°C
Highest in the warmest month

Under high emissions, Córdoba would stay nearest its own climate today.
Its own climate today is 2.3 σ away. How close the match is: 3.7 σ to the climate of Seville today, where under 2 is close and over 4 is no match (Mahony et al. 2017). 3 of 3 climate model runs name the same city. Seasonal temperature and rain are compared, not extremes, city heat or the sea.
