Overview of climate changes
Temperature changes
Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +2.24 °C compared with the earlier reference period. This is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average, and it describes mean temperatures rather than daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was in January, with a difference of +5.55 °C; that peak monthly contrast does not mean the same increase occurred in every month.
Changes in snowfall
Mean daily snowfall averaged across calendar months had a difference of +1.00 mm/day in the more recent reference period. This is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a monthly snowfall total. The largest monthly increase was in January, with a difference of +4.90 mm/day; in April, snowfall instead had its largest decrease, a difference of -0.48 mm/day. These monthly contrasts do not imply a consistent change across all months.
Changes in rainfall
Mean daily rainfall averaged across calendar months had a difference of +0.17 mm/day in the more recent period. This unweighted mean of monthly values is not a day-weighted annual average, and these figures describe daily means rather than monthly rainfall totals. The largest monthly increase occurred in February, with a difference of +0.58 mm/day, while June had the largest decrease, a difference of -0.37 mm/day. These contrasting monthly changes show why the overall mean difference should not be read as a uniform change in every month.
Changes in sunshine duration
Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months had a difference of -0.05 hours/day compared with the earlier period; this is an unweighted average of calendar-month means, not a day-weighted annual figure. Monthly differences varied in direction: November recorded the largest increase, a difference of +0.24 hours/day, while the largest decrease was in May, with a difference of -0.22 hours/day. The aggregate difference therefore does not describe the change in sunshine for each individual month.
