The climate twin scenario is based on data from the IPCC. On this basis, researchers have developed scenarios for future temperature trends. These are computational models, and actual future changes may differ from them.

Based on the climate models, climate data for the year 2080 were modelled for 12,000 selected locations worldwide. Each of these locations was assigned a reference location that already exhibits exactly these climate data today. This means that the current temperature at the reference locations is comparable to what, according to the calculations, could become reality at the queried location by 2080.

As the basis for the climate modelling calculations, the warmest month with the highest average daily temperatures modelled for the period 2060 to 2080 is used for each location. The comparison data for the reference locations comes from the period 1960 to 1990. (<link http: klimawandelanpassung.at external-link-new-window internal link in current>klimawandelanpassung.at)
