Canada Nov 2012 15 Year Trend by 5×5 Grid Square

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

This map is the 15 year temperature trend for Canada by 5×5 grid squares up to November 2012.

The data comes from Environment Canada Stations that are part of the “normals” and have 170 or more datapoints in the last 180 months (15 years).

The color of the square indicates warming or cooling.

The square size is Not proportional to the amount of warming or cooling.

NOAA Nov 2012 – The East was Cold!

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

While NOAA’s data has been called into question, the November 2012 data is out for the contiguous USA.

The east was cold! 25 out of the 48 states were ranked 59 or under (which is pretty cold)

For example, North Carolina and Virgina’s November were ranked 11 out of 118, which means 107 were warmer! And The warmest November was in 1985 NC’s November in 1985 was 12.8F warmer than Nov 2012.

No state set a record for coldest or warmest. 9 of the state records were set in 1985.

Washington States November record was from 1899.

The table is sorted from lowest ranking (coldest) to warmest.

Canada October 2012 – 15 Year Trends (A lot of cooling)

Published on by sunshinehours17 Comments

This is a map of  Environment Canada Stations that are part of the “normals” and have 170 or more datapoints in the last 180 months (15 years) as of October 2012.

The circle size is proportion to the warming or cooling.

When some people say Canada is “warming”, I would disagree and say Western Canada is definitely cooling for 15 years and a small part of Eastern Canada clustered around the big cities and a couple of arctic stations are warming.

This is a list of British Columbia, Canada Environment Canada Stations that are part of the “normals” and have 170 or more datapoints in the last 180 months (15 years).

The trend is the temperature trend over the last 15 years calculated by the R lm function.

As you know from a previous post, British Columbia is cooling over the last 15 years.
