Climate Change Chart of Palawan, Philippines

Overview of climate changes

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, averaged across calendar months, had a difference of -1.03 mm/day compared with the earlier reference period. This is an unweighted summary of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average, and the daily measure is not a monthly rainfall total. The largest monthly decrease was in September, with a difference of -3.16 mm/day. By contrast, the largest increases were tied between October / December, each with a difference of +0.09 mm/day; these extrema show how monthly differences varied without describing every month's rainfall.

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +0.76 °C compared with the earlier reference period. This is an unweighted mean of the monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average, and monthly mean temperature should not be read as a daytime maximum. The largest monthly increases were tied between May / December, with a difference of +1.07 °C. This identifies the strongest increases among the supplied monthly differences, rather than implying that every month changed by the same amount.

Changes in sunshine duration

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of -0.49 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. This is an unweighted average of monthly means, rather than a day-weighted annual figure. The largest monthly decrease occurred in July, with a difference of -1.33 hours/day. That marks the strongest monthly decrease in the supplied differences, not a uniform change across all months.
