17 of the last 25 days were warmer than the historical normal for that date. Average difference: +1.7°C.
Each bar is one day, from morning low to afternoon high. Warm-colored bars are days whose mean ran above normal; cool bars ran below. The dot inside the bar is the daily mean. The shaded band is the typical 10–90% range expected for that date. Normal = the day's mean temperature averaged across every year of record (1940–2026) for that calendar date.

How it has changed
Year-by-year signals from 1940 to today.Climate stripes
Annual mean shifted from 1940–1949 to 2016–2025 by +2.5°C.
Each vertical stripe is one year. Color encodes how much that year's annual mean differed from the long-term average. Normal = each year's annual mean compared to the average of all years (1940–2026). cooler ← → warmer
Hot days vs frost days
Days ≥ 30°C per year: 5.8 early in the record → 23.1 recently. Frost days: 107 → 64.
Thin lines are raw yearly counts; thick lines are the smoothed trend that removes year-to-year noise. The hot-day threshold is auto-picked per city so the line actually moves. Normal = a centered 5-year rolling average to smooth weather noise.
Yearly hot & cold extremes
All-time high in 1957, all-time low in 1942: 38.7°C / -26.7°C.
One point per year — the single hottest and coldest day recorded that year.
Annual rainfall
~679 mm/year on average. Last decade ran +4% vs that average.
One bar per year of total rainfall. Dashed line is the long-term average. Normal = the average annual rainfall across every year of record (1940–2026).
Day-by-day grid
Each tiny square is one calendar day across the full record — ~30,000 days per city. Use the mode switch above the chart: Anomaly colors each day by how far it ran from the historical normal for that date (red = warmer, blue = cooler), Daily mean temp shows the absolute mean temperature for the day (useful to see seasons and heatwaves), and Precipitation shows daily rainfall (useful to spot wet/dry seasons and droughts). Normal = the long-term average for that calendar date (1940–2026).
