Parametric plots of smoothed climate variables at Manilla

“”Flooding Rains” stop”

The raw January 2011 anomaly values have leapt away from the “Flooding Rains” area in the bottom left corner of the graphs. Anomaly values of maximum temperature and temperature range are up, and that of rainfall is down.

Note: Fully smoothed data – Gaussian smoothing with half-width 6 months – are plotted in red, partly smoothed data uncoloured, and raw data for the last data point in orange. January data points are marked by squares. Blue diamonds and the dashed blue rectangle show the extreme values in the fully smoothed data record since September 1999.
