Climate Change Chart of Bohol, Philippines

Overview of climate changes

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months had a difference of -1.02 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. This is an unweighted summary of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual figure. January had the largest monthly decrease in mean daily sunshine, with a difference of -1.67 hours/day. That monthly contrast marks the strongest decrease in the supplied data and does not mean sunshine declined by that amount in every month.

Temperature changes

The unweighted mean difference across calendar months in monthly mean temperature was a difference of +0.60 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this summarizes monthly averages, not daytime maximum temperatures or the change in every month. April had the largest monthly increase in mean temperature, with a difference of +0.86 °C. This identifies the strongest monthly increase in the supplied comparison, rather than implying that every month warmed by the same amount.

Changes in rainfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily rainfall had a difference of -0.36 mm/day compared with the earlier reference period. This unweighted mean describes the combined pattern of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a monthly rainfall total. The largest monthly increase in mean daily rainfall was in January, at a difference of +2.95 mm/day. In contrast, September recorded the largest monthly decrease, with a difference of -2.94 mm/day; these monthly shifts show that the overall mean does not describe the direction of change in every month.
