How has climate change shaped your lifetime of heat?

In a warming world, people are experiencing more extremely hot days than they used to.

Choose your hometown (or closest city) and birth year to see how climate change has affected the number of extremely hot days in your lifetime and how that compares to the experience of someone born earlier or later.

Our Climate Shift Index data only goes back to 1970, which is why that’s the earliest birth year available.
Look for the closest major city, if you can’t find your hometown.
