Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +0.31 °C. This is a comparison of the monthly means, not a continuous trend or a measure of daytime highs. The monthly pattern was not uniform: August had the largest increase, a difference of +1.12 °C, while February had the largest decrease, a difference of -0.60 °C. These extrema describe changes in monthly averages and do not imply that every month followed the same direction.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, rather than monthly rainfall totals, had an averaged-across-calendar-months difference of +0.22 mm/day. The month-to-month changes varied: February recorded the largest increase, a difference of +1.71 mm/day, whereas June recorded the largest decrease, a difference of -1.39 mm/day. These values describe average daily amounts within the named months; they do not establish that rainfall rose or fell in every month, or indicate changes in monthly totals.

Changes in sunshine duration

Across calendar months, mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of +0.08 hours/day; this is an unweighted summary of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual figure. The strongest monthly increase was in June, with a difference of +0.77 hours/day, while the largest decrease occurred in January, at a difference of -0.47 hours/day. The overall mean therefore sits alongside contrasting monthly changes, rather than describing a uniform shift through the year.

Changes in snowfall

Mean daily snowfall also has supplied differences for this comparison. Averaged across calendar months, its displayed difference is 0.00 mm/day; unchanged at this precision does not establish that snowfall was absent or that values were identical beyond the displayed rounding. The largest monthly increase was in July, with a difference of +0.01 mm/day. These are daily means, not monthly snowfall totals, and the monthly increase can coexist with an unchanged rounded average across calendar months.
