Summer: According to our model results, the mean temperature in July is going to increase by approximately 3°C until 2050. From 2020 to 2050 the same will be true for August. The summer months can furthermore be assumed to become wetter, especially in the southern reindeer grazing areas. Locally up to 50% more precipitation in 2020 and 40% more in 2050 have been modelled. In combination these two changes can lead to increasing stress caused by mosquitos and other insects.
