A series of 'warming stripes' have been released today (April 21) which include Greater Manchester, and show how the temperature has changed from the past 100 years.
Shades of blue indicate cooler-than-average years, and red show years that were hotter than average. The stark band of deep red stripes on the right-hand side of the graphic show the rapid heating in recent decades.
