Four weeks of climate data: Southern Tropics Region #4

Another region of the Southern Tropics that consists of lots of ocean and a few islands.

Even for that, the coverage is well spread out.

A generally warming trend, but the most recent jump is smaller than some previous jump in every metric.

Again increasing, but the overall median increase is less than half a degree.

Clearly increasing, but less than half a degree again.

One cool Spring this century keeps this from being a convincing warming trend in all metrics.

Confidence of the region warming: 99.99%
Confidence of decreasing rate: 65%
Change in median temperature from the 1955-1975 interval to the 1999-2010 interval: 0.48° C


Tomorrow, we will have a slice of the tropics with a lot of land mass as we look at South America south of Ecuador.
