temperature trends
Thermal change directions
Temperature trends are patterns of change in temperature measurements over time, typically tracked across years or decades.
The phrase appears most often in climate science, where researchers analyze whether temperatures are rising, falling, or holding steady: Global temperature trends show consistent warming since the 1970s.
Trends may be observed locally, regionally, or worldwide.
