It's a simple update of an app that was posted about a year ago. The time-period has been extended so that you can see the trend since 1950.
Any arbitrary locations can be chosen but the input is sort of limited to larger cities. The underlying data is the hourly ERA5, and I'll try to add a bit to download some of the data and add more parameters.
I've always thought that while global numbers such as 1.5C is something we all hear about, it's also important to know how things are changing at the local level.
Any feedback on the app or the visualization would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I don't understand what it means. I guessed it was the number of days with a temperature > 10°C, but the result is ~1500 in Buenos Aires. It's the sum of the temperature-10°C when the temperature is > 10°C? (If we have ~150 days with ~20°C per year, we'd get ~1500.)
How do distinguish climate change and urban island heat effect?
Add an option for °F. I use °C, but in other countries is more common °F.

This model resolution isn't fine enough (~28km) to account for urban heat island effect - all the changes are coming from large-scale climate change.
Thanks for the suggestion about adding deg F. Will do.
