Are you being intentionally obtuse? In normal language the quoted text means there is a meaningful chance of record temperatures 10 degrees hotter than current records.

		It is weasel language which actually says nothing in order to not be disprovable The reason we see it all the time is because we've gotten used to people trying to convince us that some unlikely scenario will take place to increase urgency. While global warming is happening, the quoted sentence should be raising your "this is someone trying to convince me of something that has a neglectable likelihood of becoming reality"-alarm But sure, it could be that we may get a significant heat up within the next 20 years. Regardless of that, if you're living in Germany you probably should get an AC, as even if that doesn't manifest, things can already get too warm

It's a temperature range and percent likelihood. The warmer the planet, the greater the odds of experiencing these sorts of conditions.
