City Climate Bars & Stripes — replicated

What this is: an interactive replication of Ed Hawkins' climate stripes for cities, with annual & seasonal anomaly views. Built to demonstrate data manipulation + accessible visualisation.

Data caveats: city alignment and infilling aren’t perfect; treat this as a visual tool. For formal use, see the official sources.

• Pick a country then a city, or use Search.
• Switch Season between Annual, DJF, MAM, JJA, SON.
• Toggle View between Bars and Stripes.
• Change Baseline (1850–1900 or 1961–2010).
• Set Colour scale: Fixed, Auto-symmetric, or Auto-range.
• Use ← / → to cycle cities; Download PNG saves the chart.

Big picture: even without a fully rigorous scientific workflow here, the visual signal is consistent across a large set of cities.

• Clear warming trend: annual bars/stripes shift toward warmer anomalies in many locations.
• Seasons warm too: despite higher intra-season variability than annual series, DJF/MAM/JJA/SON generally show the same warming signal.
• Recent decades: the last ~20–30 years are frequently at the warm end of the scale.

Try different baselines and scale modes — the pattern should remain clear.
