A detailed analysis of the monthly mean temperatures shows that three months of the past year (February, July and August) were the warmest in the history of our station. Spring 2024, which broke the previous record with an average temperature of 12.5 °C (average for the months of March to May), is also particularly noteworthy, as is 2024 as a whole, which is the warmest year since measurements began with an annual average of 12.1 °C.
The current data reflects an extraordinary trend in recent years. The temperatures recorded in 2024 impressively illustrate that this period not only shows individual peaks, but also a significant overall increase in monthly mean temperatures compared to previous decades. Particularly noteworthy is the accumulation of warmer-than-average months, which confirm the continuous trend towards a warmer climate.
It is striking that the temperatures in all months of 2024 - with the exception of November - are above the mean values of the two reference periods. The record months of February, July and August, which are well above the average of recent decades, are also worthy of note here.
