Multi-model mean CMIP5 (RCP 2.6 scenario) projections of the average temperature of the hottest days were plotted for the United States, for the later part of this century (2081-2100) compared to the later part of last century (1986-2005).

The upper left panel of figure 3 from Kharin et al. (2013) was redrawn to include only the US and converted to deg F. The following models were used: bcc-csm1-1, BNU-ESM, CanESM2, CCSM4, CESM1-CAM5, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO-Mk3-6-0, EC-EARTH, FGOALS-g2, FGOALS-s2, FIO-ESM, GFDL-CM3, GFDL-ESM2G, GFDL-ESM2M, GISS-E2-R, HadGEM2-AO, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, IPSL-CM5A-MR, MIROC5, MIROC-ESM-CHEM, MIROC-ESM, MPI-ESM-LR, MPI-ESM-MR, MRI-CGCM3, NorESM1-ME, and NorESM1-M.
