warming trends

Rising heat patterns

Warming trends are patterns of increasing temperature over time, typically used in climate science to describe long-term rises in global or regional temperatures.

The phrase appears frequently in discussions of climate change: Data shows clear warming trends over the past century.

A single warm year isn't a trend; the term implies sustained, measurable change across years or decades.
