Reading Council

Show Your Stripes Day is a simple but powerful way of demonstrating the reality of climate change.

Created by Professor Ed Hawkins, of the University of Reading, every stripe represents one year and the colours move from cool blues to warm reds to represent the increase in temperature seen over the last 150 years.

The image shows the latest stripes for Reading, up to 2025.

Last year was the second-warmest year on record in Reading, according to the University’s Atmospheric Observatory, and the driest for 20 years.

All five of Reading's warmest years have occurred since 2006, four of the five since 2020.
