Projections of future changes in annual mean surface air temperature in Asia are qualitatively similar to those in the previous assessments with greater warming at higher latitudes   . Projected surface air temperature changes in the Tibetan Plateau, Central Asia and West Asia are also significant  . The highest levels of warming for extremely hot days are expected to occur in West and Central Asia with increased dryness of land  . Over mountainous regions, elevation-dependent warming will continue  . Glaciers will generally shrink, but rates will vary among regions  . Thawing permafrost presents a problem in northern areas of Asia, particularly Siberia . Temperature rise will be strongest in winter in most regions, while it will be the strongest on summer in the northern part of West Asia and some parts of South Asia where a desert climate prevails  . The wet-bulb globe temperature, which is a measure of heat stress, is likely2 to approach critical health thresholds in West and South Asia under the RCP4.5 scenario, and in some other regions, such as East Asia, under the RCP8.5 scenario  . The occurrence of extreme heatwaves will very likely increase in Asia. Projections show that a sizeable part of South Asia will experience heat stress conditions in the future . It is virtually certain that cold days and nights will become fewer .
