That's my thinking. What we witnessed over the last 30 years are more and more local maxima and extremes in regions, which typically have very mild weather. I spent significant amounts of time in a number of countries near the equator and do not recall such changes as we currently witness in Europe. But given the fact, that I have absolutely no expertise in the field, I might be totally wrong.

You can look up various predictions. Depending on which scenarios come true, large parts of Earth around the equator can become simply unlivable (i.e. worse than Persian Gulf countries now, where life outside of air conditioned buildings and vehicles hardly exists) during our lifetime.
Rising sea levels will mess up a lot of equatorial island regions. Recommend doing research.
