Thanks and that’s really interesting. I wanted to do rainfall next. It’s been really wet here this winter. And the summers have been a lot drier. Can’t wait to see the heatmap for that.

Wind, please!

Most reports like this focus on temperature, some on rainfall.

But more energy in atmosphere -> wind speeds increasing seems logical. And matches my subjective experiences. Would be nice to see this visualized using hard numbers (both extremes & averages).

This would also be very interesting here. I believe the intensity of storms passing through has increased over the last couple decades. I am in tornado alley so intense storms are part of life but the wind speeds associated with non-tornadic storms that pass have increased. It is not unusual now to get warnings for winds greater than 60 mph (96 kph) and we have seen winds greater than 80 mph (129 kph) several times in the last five years. I think wind speeds associated with storms are increasing so it would be interesting to see whether that data matches my perception.

I like that, I must admit I also forgot about wind, but it makes sense.

I do feel like there's less wind here in the Netherlands than before. But maybe that's just my personal experience after moving to a larger city.
