Also in my region this first half of November is much warmer than usual. We already had a lot of positive anomalies this year.
In this page our regional environment agency has calculated some graphs with the differences from our temperature averages all over this year -->
https://www.arpa.piemonte.it/rischin...roduzione.html
This is the graph about mean temperatures. This is referred to the average of all the mean temperatures of all Piedmont (which comprehend both mountains, hills and a plain), so this graph is intended to show the deviation from the normal temperatures, while the data about absolute temperatures are less interesting.
Before commenting it I just translate it:
title: mean's anomalies (°C)
daily temperature, average Piedmont year 2015
Legend:
red area: daily temperature (above average)
blue area: daily temperature (below average)
black concrete line: average over the period 1971-2000
black dotted line: standard deviation 1971-2000
yellow area: between 5° and 95° percentile (period 1958-2014)
pink (?) line: record high (period 1958-2014)
light blue line: record low (period 1958-2014)
In practice the graph shows that our temperatures have been well above average for the most of 2015, in particular during January, July and now again. Temperature recorded were often really near to the record highs for those days (the pink line), and several high temp records were set.
If you look at the first graph of that page, which is about max temperature deviations, you will see that the differences from the average line are even more evident in that case.
In practice I have the impression that 2015 will end with well above averages temperature statistics here.
