Description
Average annual Mean/ Max/ Min air Temperature at 2m height for the last three years on record (2016-2018). Monthly aggregates have been calculated based on the ERA5 hourly values of each parameter.
Annual change of the average Mean/Max/Min Temperature for the whole period. The total change is the annual change multiplicated by the total number of years. A change of 0.1 °C per year represents a 4 °C total change between the start and the end of the period which is 1979-2019.
Annual anomaly of the average Mean/Max/Min Temperature which is the average Mean/Max/Min Temperature for the whole period (1979-2018) comparing it to the average Mean/Max/Min Temperature of the year 2014-2018. The anomalies map shows the percentage deviation (per pixel) between 2014-2018 and the average for the whole region 1979-2018.

ERA5 Monthly aggregates Latest climate reanalysis produced by ECMWF / Copernicus Climate Change Service
Description
ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate. Reanalysis combines model data with observations from across the world into a globally complete and consistent dataset.
Spatial resolution
The pixel size is 0.25 deg (approx. 28km at the equator)
Pixel size: 28 x 28 km (0.25 deg)
Temporal resolution
ERA5 data is available from 1979 to three months from real-time.
Monthly aggregates have been calculated based on the ERA5 hourly values of each parameter.
