Effect of climate change

Today's climate (1996–2025) compared with 1961–1990:

In short

Temperature +0.6 °C warmer
Rain mm ≈ rain days ≈ there were 29 rain days a year in 1961–1990

Year by year

Temperature of each year

−2.4 °C+2.4 °C

Against 1961–1990 the mean temperature of today (1996–2025) has changed by +0.6 °C; in the last ten years by +0.8 °C. Warmest year: 2019 (+2.0 °C), coldest: 1974 (−2.1 °C).

September and August warmed the most (+1.5 and +1.1 °C), December the least (−0.2 °C). The warm season (above the annual mean of then, 21 °C) begins 8 days earlier and ends 4 days later.
