Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, monthly mean temperature shows a difference of +0.57 °C in the more recent period; this is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a measure of daytime highs. The largest monthly increase was in December, at +1.95 °C, while October had the largest decrease, a difference of -1.03 °C. These month-specific contrasts show that the overall mean difference does not describe every month.

Changes in snowfall

Mean daily snowfall, not monthly snowfall totals, was lower on average across calendar months, with a difference of -0.42 mm/day; this is an unweighted mean of the monthly averages. The largest monthly decrease was in January, at -2.06 mm/day, while April showed the largest increase, a difference of +0.31 mm/day. The aggregate difference does not mean snowfall shifted in the same direction in every month.

Changes in rainfall

Mean daily rainfall, rather than monthly totals, was higher on average across calendar months, with a difference of +0.22 mm/day; the mean is unweighted across the monthly averages. The largest monthly increase occurred in May, a difference of +0.62 mm/day, whereas December recorded the largest decrease, at -0.19 mm/day. These figures describe changes in monthly mean daily amounts, not a uniform shift in rainfall in every month.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration averaged across calendar months shows a difference of -0.38 hours/day in the more recent period; this unweighted comparison of monthly means is not a day-weighted annual average. The largest monthly decrease was in April, at -0.86 hours/day, while January had the largest increase, a difference of +0.27 hours/day. The overall mean therefore summarizes monthly averages and should not be read as a change applying equally to each month.
