1,168 stations in 185 grid cells of 5 by 5 degrees. Each station is compared with its own 1961-1990 mean, so stations at different heights and latitudes can be averaged. Stations are averaged within each grid cell and cells are weighted by the cosine of latitude.

The set is the 1,446 stations with at least 50 complete years (all twelve months with 20 or more days of maximum and minimum). A station's warmest year is the one with the highest annual mean temperature, a tie going to the later year. The count describes these stations, not the whole area.

From 1951 to 2018, the daily maximum in Europe changed by +0.28 C per decade (+0.51 F) (95 percent interval +0.21 to +0.35 C) and the daily minimum by +0.33 C per decade (+0.59 F) (95 percent interval +0.26 to +0.40 C), from 1,168 stations.
The daily minimum rose faster, by 0.05 C per decade more than the daily maximum; the two intervals overlap, so the data do not separate them.
The day-night range (daily maximum minus daily minimum) changed by -0.05 C per decade (95 percent interval -0.06 to -0.03 C), which means the range narrowed.
Trends per decade
| Measure | Trend per decade (C) | 95% interval (C) | Years | Stations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily maximum | +0.28 | +0.21 to +0.35 | 1951 to 2018 | 1,168 |
| Daily minimum | +0.33 | +0.26 to +0.40 | 1951 to 2018 | 1,168 |
| Day-night range (maximum minus minimum) | -0.05 | -0.06 to -0.03 | 1951 to 2018 | 1,168 |
The day-night range is the daily maximum minus the daily minimum, so a falling range means the minimum rose by more than the maximum. Intervals allow for year to year persistence in the series.

Each measure counts days in complete years only. A station is in a measure's set when it has complete years in every decade from the 1960s, so each chart compares the same places over time. A grey bar is a decade that is not over.

A run belongs to the year it started in, even when it ran on into the next year. A station appears once per list, with its longest run in a complete year. Dry and wet spells are the longest run within a year. Lists use complete years only, so a long run in a year with gaps in the record is not counted.

A snow season runs from 1 July to 30 June and is labelled by the year it starts in, so 2009-10 is the season of 2009. A season is complete when at least 150 days report snow depth. The set holds stations at 20 degrees north or further north with at least 5 snow cover days per season on average in 1961-1990 and complete seasons in every decade.

Hot and Dry Summers: Europe
1,762 stations with a 1961-1990 record- In Europe, the share of stations with a hot and dry summer is shown for each year from 1900 to 2026, for 1,762 stations with at least 20 complete summers in 1961-1990. Each year counts the stations of that set with a complete summer in the year.
- In Europe, 9.4% of station summers in 1961-1990 were hot and dry (50,048 station summers).
- In Europe, 22.1% of station summers in 2012-2026 were hot and dry (13,834 station summers).
- In Europe, 2022 had the highest share: 50.1% of 804 stations (403).
A summer is hot when its mean daily maximum is at or above the station's 80th percentile of its 1961-1990 summers, and dry when its rain is at or below the 20th percentile. A summer is hot and dry when it is both. Summer is June to August north of the equator and December to February south of it, labelled by the year of its first month.
