Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +0.36 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this is an unweighted mean of monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual figure or a measure of daytime highs. The month-level differences were not uniform: August / September had the largest monthly increase, a difference of +0.85 °C, while June had the largest monthly decrease, a difference of -0.38 °C. These identify the strongest reported changes in either direction, rather than describing every month or a continuous trend.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, rather than monthly rainfall totals, had an unweighted average difference across calendar months of +0.20 mm/day. The largest monthly increase was in July, with a difference of +1.83 mm/day; the largest monthly decrease occurred in August, with a difference of -1.29 mm/day. The opposing monthly differences show why the across-month mean should not be read as a description of rainfall in every month, and they do not establish a continuous change between the reference periods.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration had an unweighted difference across calendar-month averages of -0.05 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. Monthly differences varied around that aggregate: August recorded the largest increase, a difference of +1.23 hours/day, whereas June recorded the largest decrease, a difference of -0.72 hours/day. These are differences in average daily hours, not total sunshine for each month; the mean across calendar months does not imply that daily sunshine changed by the same amount throughout the year.
