Source GeoSphere Austria — The historical yearly weather station data is used in this application.
Period The period varies from station to station. The earliest measurements in this application is from Wien Hohe Warte which starts in 1785. I only included weather stations that have continuous data from at least 1950 onwards. With these criteria we get a total of 99 stations in Austria.
Filtering Only stations with consistent time series were kept. For the plot that is shown here the data was smoothed using 10-year moving averages.
Comparison The yearly average temperatures (tl_mittel in the GeoSphere Api) are averaged across 1950–1970 vs. 2000-2025 to highlight warming trends. I chose these periods to allow more stations into the data selection, as many stations only have data starting from 1940 or later.
Architecture Data was fetched once and stored in a DuckDB instance that is queried on user request. The Application is built on FastAPI and the frontend uses tailwindcss.
