Method
The following steps were used to produce a single plot of temperatures from the multiple stations.
- Extract all the stations with more than 50 years of records of maximum and minimum daily temperature
- Group the data by station
- Subtract the overall monthly means for each station from the observed daily values.
- Take the mean of all these anomalies for each day, and then average over all the records for the stations included.
- Add back the mean value for all the stations in the area for that day.
- Plot the time series as a dynamic graph with rolling average. Note this value can be changed by the user.
