Future hourly wet-bulb globe temperature dataset for 842 cities in Japan

Click Here to Download

This dataset contains predicted values (hourly, from April to October) of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) for 842 cities in Japan from 2030 to 2100. The predictions were made by applying a model constructed using eXtreme Gradient Boosting, a machine learning method, to learn the relationship between hourly WBGT and daily meteorological variables in the past, to the daily values of the future climate scenario data for Japan (NIES2020). Data for the past period (1980-2014) is also provided as a reference.
