Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +2.20 °C averaged across calendar months, an unweighted summary of the monthly means rather than a day-weighted annual average; it describes the aggregate, not a uniform change in every month or daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was shared by January / December, each with a difference of +4.71 °C compared with the earlier reference period.

Changes in snowfall

Mean daily snowfall had a difference of +1.70 mm/day averaged across calendar months. This is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a monthly total, and it does not imply the same change in every month.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of -0.37 hours/day averaged across calendar months, an unweighted summary of monthly means rather than a day-weighted annual average; this aggregate decrease does not mean every month had less sunshine.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall had a difference of +0.34 mm/day averaged across calendar months; this unweighted comparison of monthly means is not a daily or monthly-total measure and does not imply that rainfall increased in every month.
