Where the data comes from
The observations come from national meteorological services and international archives. Climate Explorer retrieves and presents them in maps, charts and tables. Each guide explains the measurements, reporting periods and processing used for its dataset.
A station record describes one place. Gaps in coverage, observation times and changes of instrument can all affect a comparison. Our articles explain these limits alongside the findings and link to the records behind them.
Climate Explorer is an independent project. Read how we prepare the work or report a correction.
