Global temperature rise
The ‘warming stripe’ graphic above shows the change in temperature in our area over the past 175 years.
Each stripe represents the yearly temperature with blue stripes showing cooler years and red stripes showing hotter years. The diagram starts at 1850 on the left hand side and runs through to 2024 on the right hand side.
