Climate Change Chart of Belgrade, Serbia

Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +1.27 °C in the more recent period; this is an unweighted comparison of the month-by-month means, not a day-weighted annual figure or a measure of daytime highs. The monthly pattern is not uniform: January has the largest increase, at +4.23 °C, while September has the largest decrease, at -1.09 °C. These extrema describe differences in monthly means between the reference periods, not changes in every month or a continuous trend.

Changes in snowfall

Mean daily snowfall has an averaged-across-calendar-months difference of -0.49 mm/day; this describes unweighted monthly means, not monthly snowfall totals. The monthly differences are notably uneven: January has the largest decrease, -2.45 mm/day, while April has the largest increase, +0.62 mm/day. These comparisons concern period averages and do not imply the same difference on each day or in every month.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months has a difference of -0.28 hours/day in the more recent period. Monthly differences vary: the largest increase is in November, at +0.33 hours/day, while the largest decrease is in May, at -0.65 hours/day. The mean summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days, and the monthly extrema should not be read as a change occurring on every day.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, rather than monthly totals, has an averaged-across-calendar-months difference of +0.43 mm/day. The month-level differences show that this overall comparison does not apply evenly throughout the year: May records the largest increase, +1.20 mm/day, whereas April records the largest decrease, -0.41 mm/day. These values compare period averages for the named months and do not describe rainfall on every day.
