CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA

.Regarding the graph:

-As we can see, the average in the last 50 years has risen 2.7 degrees.

-The maximums have risen 3.6 degrees.

-The minimums have increased 2.6 degrees.

-Of course, these temperatures are not from the province in general, since the data would be even higher. They are from the Sierra area.

-I have not been able to find official data on previous years

Data from the last 100 years:

We are going to proceed to make a comparison on the evolution of the temperature in 100 years, observing if climate change and pollution in the environment are affecting it to a greater or lesser extent.

The altitudinal amplitude of Sierra Nevada causes thermal oscillations of great importance. Thus, as we ascend in meters:

Trevélez, Puerto de la Ragua, Pradollano obviously the temperatures are going to be lower. From 3000 m we already

We are from 0ºC.

But has this always been the case or has it changed over time? The main changes have been due to natural meteorological processes, as well as the “El Niño” phenomenon. According to climatic diagrams:

- January is the coldest month with an average minimum of -2º C.

- The warmest months are July and August with a daily maximum of 26ºC and a daily minimum of 14ºC.

- On the cold nights of Sierra Nevada, they do not exceed 10ºC on average in any month, and in many

cases, especially in cold months, exceed -5ºC on average.

A table offered by "Phytosociological Research Center", we find a statistic between 1975 - 1989 in the

which:

-The coldest month was February with an average minimum of -7.9ºC, and the second March with an average minimum of -7.5oC.

Subsequently January, April and December with average minimum temperatures of about -6.1ºC; -4.3ªC and -4.0ªC,

respectively.

-From November to May, temperatures do not exceed 1ºC on average.
