Introduction

  • This presentation explores Switzerland’s temperature patterns over time
  • Data spans from 1940 to present
  • The heatmap visualizes monthly average temperatures
  • Darker colors represent colder temperatures, brighter colors represent warmer temperatures

Switzerland’s Monthly Temperature Patterns (1940-Present)

Key Observations

  • Winter months (December-February) consistently show the lowest temperatures
  • Summer months (June-August) show the highest temperatures
  • We can see that starting in the 2010s and going into the 2020s the consistently very cold temperatures in Jan, Febm Mar and Dec are giving way to milder weather, and that the months of Jul And Aug are becoming consistently very warm compared to the past where they have periods of milder weather.
