<idPurp>Projected mean near-surface air temperature over Mecca for 2015-2100</idPurp>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This raster layer shows projected mean near-surface air temperature over Mecca for 2015-2100 under the SSP2-4.5 emissions pathway. The input data were derived from the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 multi-model ensemble, clipped to the study area, and temporally averaged at each grid cell to produce the long-term future mean temperature surface. This layer represents the spatial pattern of projected warming and thermal stress. Higher projected temperatures indicate increased evaporative demand, faster post-rainfall drying, reduced moisture persistence, and greater sediment availability for aeolian transport.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
