Australia vs India: Climate projections by scenario, 2030–2060 - Regions — Projected air
Climate projections by scenario, 2030–2060 - Regions — Projected air over time
- Australia
- India
How they compare
India currently reports 1.4 Degrees celsius against 1.3 Degrees celsius in Australia, a difference of 0.1 Degrees celsius.
That makes India's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 31 shared years of data; in 2030 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 42nd and India ranks 40th of 48 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 1 and India in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | India | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2030s | 0.88 Degrees celsius | 0.85 Degrees celsius | 0.03 Degrees celsius | Australia |
| 2040s | 1.04 Degrees celsius | 1.1 Degrees celsius | 0.06 Degrees celsius | India |
| 2050s | 1.14 Degrees celsius | 1.29 Degrees celsius | 0.15 Degrees celsius | India |
| 2060s | 1.3 Degrees celsius | 1.4 Degrees celsius | 0.1 Degrees celsius | India |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
This dataset provides sub-national indicators on 2030-2060 projections by scenario on air temperature, hot days, icing days, tropical nights, total precipitation and extreme precipitation days in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. Data definition and source Hot days refer to days during which the maximum temperature is higher than 35°C). Tropical nights refer to nights during which the minimum temperature is higher than 20°C. Icing days are defined as days during which the maximum temperature is lower than 0°C. Total precipitation in millimetres refers to the accumulated liquid and frozen water per year that falls to the Earth's surface. Extreme precipitation days are defined as days during which the total precipitation is higher than 20 mm. Projections are based on NASA NEX-GDDP CMIP6 data, which provides average air temperature projections at a 0.25° spatial resolution for different scenarios - Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). SSPs are climate scenarios up to 2100 that model how socio‑economic factors may change over the next century. These scenarios are combined with Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), which outline different greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration levels and their radiative forcings. Radiative forcing quantifies how factors like GHGs, aerosols and solar changes affect Earth’s atmospheric energy balance. This dataset highlights four scenarios (see the methodology): SSP1-2.6: Sustainability. 2.6 watts per square metre (W/m2) radiative forcing, 1.8°C warming by 2100. SSP2-4.5: Middle-of-the-road. 4.5 W/m2 radiative forcing, 2.7°C warming by 2100. SSP3-7.0: Regional rivalry. 7.0 W/m2 radiative forcing, 3.6°C warming by 2100. SSP5-8.5: Fossil fuel development. 8.5 W/m2 radiative forcing, 4.4°C warming by 2100. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3).
