Climate animation of maximum temperatures

10.10.2020

In the field of data visualization, the animation of spatial data in its temporal dimension can show fascinating changes and patterns. As a result of one of the last publications in the social networks that I have made, I was asked to make a post about how I created it. Well, here we go to start with an example of data from mainland Spain. You ca...

The shiny application is updated every four hours with new data showing calendars for each weather stat...

Firefly cartography

31.05.2021

Cartography firefly Firefly maps are promoted and described by John Nelson who published a post in 2016 about its characteristics.

The climate of a place is usually presented through climographs that combine monthly precipitation and temperature in a single chart. However, it is also interesting to visualize the climate on a daily scale showing the thermal amplitude and the daily average temperature. To do this, the averages for each day of the year of daily minimums, maximu...
