Climate Science
This pillar clarifies the climate layer behind daily weather observations. It helps readers distinguish short-term variability from long-term patterns and use climate context responsibly in planning decisions.
What this pillar covers
- Climate normals and why baseline periods matter.
- Anomalies: how to compare a day, month, or season against expectation.
- Trend signals: what a multi-decade change means and what it does not prove on a single day.
- Regional context: why coastlines, altitude, and urbanization alter local patterns.
