Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Monthly mean temperatures were higher on average across calendar months in the more recent period, with a difference of +0.91 °C. This is an unweighted average of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual figure or a measure of daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was in December, at +1.55 °C; this identifies the strongest increase among the monthly comparisons, rather than describing every month.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months was lower in the more recent period, with a difference of -0.11 hours/day. This unweighted average summarizes monthly means; it is not a day-weighted annual figure and does not imply the same change in each month. The largest monthly decrease occurred in March, at -0.28 hours/day. By contrast, January had the largest monthly increase, with a difference of +0.01 hours/day—a small monthly change that sits alongside the overall lower mean.

Changes in rainfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily rainfall had a rounded difference of 0.00 mm/day, so the displayed average is unchanged at this precision. That does not establish that rainfall was identical in every month or unchanged at finer precision. The largest monthly increase was in March, with a difference of +0.08 mm/day, while the largest monthly decrease was in October, with a difference of -0.07 mm/day. These are differences in mean daily amounts, not monthly rainfall totals.
