Climate Change Chart of Nazareth, Israel

Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +1.69 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this is an unweighted mean of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a measure of daytime maximum temperatures. The largest monthly increase was in March, with a difference of +2.53 °C. This identifies the strongest increase among the supplied monthly comparisons, rather than describing every month's change.

Changes in rainfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily rainfall shows a difference of -0.49 mm/day compared with the earlier reference period. This unweighted mean describes monthly daily-mean values, not an annual total or the rainfall on every day. The largest monthly decrease was in March, with a difference of -1.97 mm/day; by contrast, the largest monthly increase was in June, with a difference of +0.01 mm/day. These are differences in mean daily rainfall for the named months, not monthly rainfall totals.

Changes in sunshine duration

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily sunshine duration shows a difference of -0.16 hours/day. This is an unweighted average of the monthly means, so it does not imply the same difference in every month or on every day. The largest monthly decrease was in January, with a difference of -0.30 hours/day in mean daily sunshine duration.

Changes in snowfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily snowfall shows a difference of -0.02 mm/day. This is an unweighted mean of monthly daily amounts, not a monthly or annual snowfall total. The largest monthly decrease was in March, with a difference of -0.17 mm/day, while the largest monthly increase was in January, with a difference of +0.09 mm/day. These month-specific differences describe mean daily snowfall and do not establish that the same change applied throughout either period.
