R3: Plot is build entirely in RStudio. I pulled the data from the Global Historical Climate Network Daily (ghcn-d) dataset using the rnoaa package. Then just playing around with ggplot and gganimate packages and voila :)

It's pretty hard to actually detect the change over time because of the way new lines obscure the old. Does it come across more clearly if you make the lines somewhat transparent?

I unsuccessfully attempted to find a good formula to keep things transparent enough. Especially for TMAX the difference at this scale is fairly low outside of summer months.

The changes become a little more evident when grouping by decades and binning by seasons, but those make no sense to animate.
