It’s interesting how consistent the 8:30 am line is for crossing warmer.
Beautiful and a fascinating chart of temperature changes throughout the year.
My bet is north central US, maybe Minnesota, Iowa or the dakotas, I know you had a crazy cold period in mid January but get hot in the summer
I’m interested to know where you live (you obviously don’t have to dox yourself) but that is a crazy range compared to where I live.
This would be a fun game!!! Guess the location based on the temperature chart.
Careful viewers could get a ton of information from the chart.
You’re obviously in the northern hemisphere, and we can even probably work out the latitude because we can see the sunrise and sunset times in the chart. You have a ~8pm sunset for much of the summer, and 5pm in the winter, so you’re around 40 degrees north.
We can see the huge temperature difference between summer and winter, so obviously a continental climate.
So we know you have a latitude that puts you around the line from San Francisco to Chicago to Madrid to Rome to Ankara to Korea to Japan.
I don’t think anywhere outside the USA would have such temperatures. All the European/Turkey places are too Mediterranean, and the vast parts of central Asia don’t seem right either. Maybe(?) some mountainous area in Korea or Japan would match, but I doubt it, since too coastal.
So probably 40 degrees North, between the Rockies and the Appalachians. Despite your Celsius units. But if you get too far east into the Great Plains, weather is dominated by fronts coming from various directions, and your temperatures are much too regular. So, 40 degrees N, Utah/Wyoming/Colorado, maybe a bit off into Idaho or Nebraska or something.
The range is crazy, even within a single day sometimes
Do we have one of these for say-1995?
Our scale would pretty much start in the yellow…
I have an app for my weather station that does this, though not as aesthetically pleasing haha
