@davidho For older members of their British audience, they might have had a version with an arrow pointing to 1976. Label text something like "Remember the Summer heatwave? It was a complete nothing burger in terms of global averages, at the time and since"
@davidho
That visualization is excellent!
@davidho I'm having a little difficulty interpreting the chart. At first I thought the x axis was the day of the year, but that doesn't make any sense. I now think that each ridge is a HISTOGRAM of how many days were at a given temperature?
@davidho It’s a great plot style for a dispersive but repetitive time series - seismic pre-stack checking comes to mind.
@davidho the difference looks bigger than with previous El Nino
@davidho if I have this right, 2023 didn't have a single day where global temperatures were below the 1990-2020 average, where 1970 and earlier didn't have a single day where it was above average. I wonder how much more brutal this would look if 1940-1970 set the average.
@davidho Awesome figure! Tells the story with chilling clarity!
@davidho If someone puts that on a t-shirt and/or yard sign I want one of each! We should be in the streets.
@davidho This looks either linear or quadratic to me -- and not sigmoidal.
When, pray tell, will it stop
