Under high emissions, The Hague would have the climate that Amsterdam (Netherlands) has today.
Its own climate today is 0.1 σ away. How close the match is: 0.1 σ to the climate of Amsterdam 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.
