Figure 3. Future wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) patterns in Tokyo for the period 2000–2100.

Figure 3

WBGT is represented as five discrete groups. The top two groups (i.e., a WBGT of 28–31 °C and a WGBT above 31 °C) are regarded as having a particularly high risk of causing heatstroke. The proportion of days that have each range of WBGT values was calculated for every period of five years. The top and bottom panels show the projections for the MIROC6 scenario and the MRI-ESM-2.0 scenario, respectively. The left, middle, and right columns show the predictions for the RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 temperature increase scenarios, respectively.
