This heatmap shows seasonal temperature anomalies relative to the 20th-century average for each year from 1950 to 2024. Each row represents a season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall), and each column a year. Red shades indicate warmer-than-average seasons, while blue shades represent cooler-than-average ones. The shift from predominantly blue to red over time highlights the long-term warming trend across all seasons.
