According to climate change study, which analyzed city pairs for 520 major cities, the Spanish capital’s climate in 2050 will resemble that of Marrakech today.
The study released Wednesday and quoted by Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia finds that Madrid will get warmer in 2050, becoming another version of the Moroccan city today.
The authors of the study, meant to combat global warming, reveal that «even under an optimistic climate scenario (RCP 4.5), we found that 77% of future cities are very likely to experience a climate that is closer to that of another existing city than to its own current climate».
«All the cities tend to shift towards the sub-tropics, with cities from the Northern hemisphere shifting to warmer conditions, on average ~1000 km south (velocity ~20 km.year-1), and cities from the tropics shifting to drier conditions», the same study concluded.
