Note that the warming of average lows is mostly due to the UHI (Urban Heat Island) - buildings give off heat which provides a source of warmth during the overnight that may not have been present 50+ years ago for some climate stations.Typeing3 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:03 am Yeah, I was shocked looking at those lows, especially in comparison to the average highs.
I believe @Glacier has mentioned this many times before, that most of the warming seen on the climate averages (especially in urban areas) is extremely pronounced in average low temps, relative to average highs.
YXX is a great example of an area that has developed substantially since the 50s, so it's makes sense that the lows have warmed considerably.
