      Yeah, but what are the pictures? Are they supposed to show the geographical globe or are they pixels of each day of that year or something?

      Sure, the overall point is very clear, but it’s generally good practice to label everything. It’s not that I don’t believe the data, it’s just… What am I even looking at?

        It’s average annual temperature for that area compared to the average of 1961-1990.
