Great question!

I assume a good chunk of that is about urban heat island effects. Reno has experienced quite a bit of growth during this period, and I believe the climate station is at the airport, which is right where a lot of the city expanded towards and beyond.

Wouldn’t know what else it could be though let me know if you find other good explanations (:

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. Feel free to check out https://www.reddit.com/r/Reno/comments/y3obr5/a_little_more_reno_weather_data/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf for some other visualizations around this.

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 :)
