How to read the map: Cool nights are defined as being below the 10th percentile of the daily minimum temperature for a given calendar day. Grid boxes outlined in solid black contain at least 3 stations and so are likely to be more representative of the grid-box. High confidence in the long-term trend is shown by a black dot.

HadEX2 - global climate extremes dataset

HadEX2 - global climate extremes dataset HadEX2 is a global land-based climate extremes dataset produced through the coordination of the joint WMO CCl/CLIVAR/JCOMM Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) . It comprises of 27 indices of temperature and precipitation on a 2.5° x 3.75° grid from 1901 to 2010. The indices represent seasonal and/or annual values derived from daily station data. Data are calculated using RClimDex/FClimDex software; developed and maintained on behalf of the ETCCDI by the Climate Research Branch of the Meteorological Service of Canada.
