Climate Change Chart of Medellin, Colombia

Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

The monthly mean temperature difference averaged across calendar months was an increase of +1.62 °C in the more recent period; this unweighted mean summarizes month-by-month averages, not a day-weighted annual figure or daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was in July, with a difference of +1.90 °C compared with the earlier reference period. This identifies the strongest increase among the supplied monthly changes, not a continuous change between periods or a description of every month's difference.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, rather than monthly totals, had an average difference across calendar months of -4.00 mm/day in the more recent period. This unweighted average describes the monthly means collectively and does not imply that rainfall decreased in every month. The largest monthly decrease in mean daily rainfall occurred in May, with a difference of -5.87 mm/day compared with the earlier reference period. That month marks the strongest decrease among the supplied monthly changes, rather than a change in a monthly rainfall total.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months showed a difference of +0.95 hours/day in the more recent period. This is an unweighted mean of monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual measure, and it does not establish that sunshine increased in every month. The largest monthly increase in mean daily sunshine duration was in June, where the difference was +1.62 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. This highlights the strongest supplied monthly increase without implying a continuous trend between the reference periods.
