High resolution heat stress over a Sahelian city: Present and future impact assessment and urban green effectiveness. International Journal of Climatology 43, 7346-7364. doi:10.1002/joc.8268

Within the WeHubit program financed by ENABEL (https://www.wehubit.be/en/node/97) the impacts of climate change are assessed over the city of Niamey. Using the UrbClim and GeoDynamix model, present and future heat stress is assessed. The results can be assessed via this platform. 

Below the raw netcdf output of the climate model for maximum and minimum daily temperature can be found for present and future scenarios, including the upper and lower uncertainty on the climate model projections (details about the scenarios can be found in this paper (under review)):
