Methods and reproducibility

Annual precipitation is calculated from monthly mean daily rates multiplied by calendar days. Annual temperature uses calendar-day weights. Monthly anomalies subtract the 2001–2025 calendar-month means. HAC uses three Bartlett-weighted lags, a finite-sample correction and approximate Student t inference. Trend confidence intervals are conditional on this model.
