Overview of climate changes

Changes in sunshine duration

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of -0.42 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. This unweighted mean of monthly means is not a day-weighted annual average, and it does not imply the same difference in every month. The largest monthly decrease was in December, with a difference of -1.42 hours/day. In June, the largest monthly increase was a difference of +0.07 hours/day, illustrating the contrast between those month-specific comparisons without establishing a continuous trend.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, averaged across calendar months, had a difference of +1.19 mm/day in the more recent period. This is an unweighted mean of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average, and it describes daily amounts rather than monthly totals. The largest monthly increase in mean daily rainfall occurred in December, with a difference of +3.87 mm/day. By contrast, May had the largest monthly decrease, a difference of -0.68 mm/day; these two months show that the monthly comparisons did not all move in the same direction.

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +0.56 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this is an unweighted mean of the monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a measure of daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase in mean temperature was in May, with a difference of +0.85 °C. This identifies the strongest increase among the supplied monthly comparisons, rather than describing every month.
