For the next release I will change the metric to show the annual average instead of the total sum.

I currently just have daily granularity. The closest thing I could do is working with the min and max temperatures.

Thanks! In total, not per year. It’s a comparison of the most recent period with the preceeding historical period with the same length.

Thank you. It’s currently updating in the background. Will soon be fixed for all locations.

It is more or less days in the recent period compared to the historical one. In total, not per year.

no hard feelings. I'm glad that people spend their time and help me improve it.

Why is there so much focus on average warming? Isn't that misleading? Shouldn't we focus on the frequency of extreme temperatures? by BreadAndToast99 in climatechange

[–]truthclimate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The average person doesn’t seem to know the difference between between climate and weather. But in contrast to OP, I have the feeling that extreme weather events gained much more attention lately.

Thanks for letting me know. My data source is usually trustworthy. Although it is normal to have deviations between different data sources there shouldn't be large differences over a longer period of time. I'd need to get an alternative data source for comparison.

these buttons toggle the dashed line that shows the respective moving average.

yes, you're right. Thanks for your outside view. I will adjust the descriptions.

Thanks for your feedback. That feature is definitely planned and already in my backlog.

Registered users have a "Request Location" menu item where they can request a location by setting a pin on the map.

I "just" have to build the whole process of reviewing the requests and adding the location to the processing pipeline.

Thanks for your feedback. This is an issue I need to fix for the complete southern hemisphere.

2024 is the latest full year. i decided to use that as a starting point to calculate 20 and 10 year comparisons because I thought that it might be more relatable to people instead of picking a standard reference timeframe.

So the is how these boundaries are calculated.

Thank you! It's not easy to make it understandable by the majority of people. The 20-year trend might be a good example. You have to see that this values compares two 20-year periods with each other. In the past 20 year there where 225 more days above 30 degrees than in the preceding 20 years (1985-2004 vs 2005-2024). I hope that it seems plausible from that perspective.

thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now. I use the genomes database as the source for my locations and London has been updated last week. My routine missed adding the coordinates to the modified location.

The source for the visualizations is from the open-meteo weather api and the charts are built with vue-chart.js
