Data Explanations

Definition: . . . The temperatures represented by the isolines on the map are the means of all annual means from 1981 to 2010 at each of the weather stations (shown as black dots) visible on the map.

How to read this map: . . . Each isoline represents a line of equal average temperature. Each color shade represents a range of temperatures. The temperature for any location between the labeled isolines is between the upper and lower limits of that color shade, proportional to the distance between those isolines.
