Station 38: Port Erin
Figure 'a': Monthly mean surface temperature for the entire
duration of the record at the station which are derived from simple
averaging of all the monthly data.
Figure 'b': Monthly climatic average with the first standard
deviation. The standard deviation has been derived from the
difference in the monthly average from the long-term mean (1971 -
2000).
Figure 'c': Yearly anomaly from the base period. Where the
average base period temperature (1971 - 2000) has been subtracted
from the average annual temperature. The standard deviation of the
annually averaged temperature of the entire record is also shown. A
trend line derived from a linear least squares analysis has been
added to indicate the extent to which annual changes are
linear.
