Climate indicators

Each index is calculated within each native cell before averaging by its intersection area. Day counts may be fractional. Maxima, minima and spells are means of cell indices, not extremes for the whole territory.

Comparison with 1991–2020

Numerical comparisons use the same product and grid. Rank = 100 × (years with lower values + half the years with equal values) / 30. Percentage differences are not used for Celsius temperatures or a zero reference. Years within the reference period are not treated as predictions. Source homogeneity is unconfirmed
