Average Monthly Temperature
Average Monthly Temperature are monthly averages for the 1901-2009 time period. These data are proxies based on gridded climatologies from the Climate Research Unit. Modeling has been used to extrapolate estimates where instrumental (station) data were unavailable or unreliable, especially in the early 1900’s.
