        Extremely vague units on both axes, throwing in the years on top makes horizontal also look like a timeline but its not.

    This graph is terrible, since it gives no scale. A person with no knowledge beforehand wouldn’t know if that’s a 0.1 degree shift or a 20 degree shift.

    Around here, it hasn’t gotten above 100 in many years, so people like to point at that to say nothing has changed.

    Never mind the fact that spring is starting earlier and earlier, dropping shitloads more rain than normal, and it’s October and people still have A/C on…

        I actually just mowed three days ago, and while the nights have made pools too cold, it’s certainly still warm enough during the day.

        Yesterday was the coldest it’s been mid-day since spring, and it took two days of rain and cold fronts to get there.

    what’s up with that graph? why not just have temperature on the Y axis and time on the X axis

    edit: what about the scale too? how big is that shift?

        For those confused a histogram is meant to give you an idea of the “shape” of data. It does this by mapping frequency of data points. That said I’m not a scientist and I’m also not use to seeing them without any values like this

      They’re trying to show a change in probability distribution, not just a temperature change over time. I agree that scale and such would be helpful.

    I don’t need to look at a graphs, I can just go outside or read the daily news of “new record heat temperatures!”
