The region is now facing a significant new challenge: climate change. As global temperatures rise, extreme weather events like heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. This is particularly concerning for areas where many residents, especially older adults, rely on outdoor agricultural work. Data from the MERRA-2 climate extreme indices dataset reveal troubling trends, showing changes in temperature extremes. Indices such as Cool Nights (TN10P) and Warm Nights (TN90P) track the frequency of days with nighttime temperatures falling below the 10th percentile or exceeding the 90th percentile. Similarly, Cool Days (TX10P) and Warm Days (TX90P) monitor daytime temperature extremes. Analyzing these indices from 1980 to 2023 uncovers a clear pattern of rising temperatures, with an increasing number of warm days and nights, highlighting the escalating climate challenges facing the region.

## Climate Extremes in the Black Belt Region
Alabama's Black Belt counties face escalating climate challenges. MERRA-2 data from 1980 to 2023 reveals significant shifts in temperature extremes. The region is experiencing an increase in warm days and nights (TX90P, TN90P) and a decrease in cool days and nights (TX10P, TN10P). These changes pose particular risks for the area's agricultural workforce and older residents, highlighting the growing impact of climate change on the region.
