Grid boxes outlined in solid black contain at least three 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. (In the map above, this is the case for all grid boxes.) Area averaged annual time series of percentage changes and trend lines are shown below each map for one area in northern Europe (green line, 5.6 ° to 16.9 °E and 56.2 ° to 66.2 °N) and one in south-western Europe (purple line, 350.6 ° to 1.9 °E and 36.2 ° to 43.7 °N).

Assessment of observed daily temperature and precipitation extremes Current interest in extreme weather events is motivated by the vulnerability of our society to the impacts of such events. The supposed increase in the occurence of extremes and the concern about anthropogenic climate change focuses attention on trends in extremes accompanying ‘global warming’. IPCC (2001) concludes that ‘most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations’. Yet, knowledge of changes in the occurrence of extremes is still limited.
