0.5 million km2 per decade in the last decades, the
yearly average temperature trend was flat 1880 - 1920, +3.5 Â °C 1920 - 1930, variable (around a flat trend) 1930 - 1948, -3 Â °C 1949 - 1994, +3 Â °C 1995 - 2004 Even more interesting: the summer (June, July, August)
temperatures dropped from
average +7 Â °C in 1900 - 1980 to +3.1 Â °C in 1983, and slowly went
up again to +6 Â °C in 2003 - 2004.
The theme of my first Hong Kong climate change article was simple:
average yearly temperatures here have been going
up more less steadily since the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) starting keeping track of them, but they have skyrocketed in recent decades.
Averaging up polar and tropical values and then top it all off by averaging winter and summer temperatures to give a yearly average and a ranking is really quite mea

averaging winter and summer
temperatures to give a
