Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +1.38 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this is an unweighted average of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a measure of daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was shared by January / November, with a difference of +2.18 °C in each; this identifies the strongest increase among the supplied monthly comparisons, not a change that applies uniformly throughout the year.

Changes in rainfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily rainfall had a difference of +1.31 mm/day in the more recent period. This is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a monthly rainfall total. The largest monthly increase in mean daily rainfall occurred in July, with a difference of +5.39 mm/day. This points to a change in the daily average for that month, rather than a monthly accumulation.

Changes in sunshine duration

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of -0.23 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period; this unweighted average of monthly means does not imply the same change in every month. The largest monthly decrease was in July, with a difference of -1.10 hours/day. By contrast, June had the largest monthly increase, a difference of +0.32 hours/day; these are month-specific daily averages, not evidence of a uniform shift across the calendar.
