Unlike primary stations in the United States, international data often has significant chunks of missing or incomplete data. As such, there are no trend lines shown. While stations used are examined for quality and are generally the best available, details should be additionally confirmed when possible.
Data visualized here is for the station: CI000085934 (GHCND).
