Statements
Temperature extremes refer to significant deviations from average temperatures, including both unusually high (warm) and low (cold) extremes. Influenced predominantly by greenhouse gases, these extremes are assessed globally, continentally, and regionally, focusing on changes in intensity, frequency, and duration from daily to seasonal scales.
