Shifting Seasons
Warm / cold seasonsHow spring and autumn have shifted in Asia. Spring is defined as the date monthly temperatures first rise above the long-term annual mean (19.3°C, from 1941–1970); autumn is the date they fall back below it. Temperature swings 15.3°C peak-to-peak across the year - a classic four-seasons rhythm.
