All climate models agree that temperatures are projected to increase over the 21st century across the Southwest, with almost uniform temperature increases across the entire region. The greatest warming is expected in the northern part of the region, especially Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. The greatest warming is expected during summer months, particularly in Utah and Colorado. Warming is generally smaller in winter, and along the Pacific coast.
