Here's a testable prediction. Unfortunately, a 3K rise
is projected for the latitude of the Mediterranean sea
about a century from now. Although, we could see
some extreme events sooner. -.-. --.- Roger

Warming may bring hurricanes to Mediterranean

LONDON (Reuters) - Global warming could trigger hurricanes, or
tropical cyclones, over the Mediterranean sea, threatening one of the
world's most densely populated coastal regions, according to European
scientists.

Hurricanes currently form out in the tropical Atlantic and rarely
reach Europe, but a new study shows a 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees
Fahrenheit) rise in average temperatures could set them off in the
enclosed Mediterranean in future.
