climate records
Historical temperature data
Climate records are systematic measurements and documentation of weather patterns, temperatures, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions collected over extended periods.
These records, maintained by meteorological agencies and research institutions, provide the baseline data essential for understanding long-term climate trends and detecting changes.
Scientists rely on climate records spanning decades or centuries to distinguish natural variability from human-influenced warming.
The climate records show this was the hottest summer on record.
