NASA Updated The Climate Spiral Visualizer Up Till 2022 In Both Degrees
NASA’s Climate Spiral visualizer updated to 2022 and is now available in both degrees including Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Climate Spiral is a visualization that shows global temperature anomalies on a monthly basis since 1880.
Climate Spiral developed from the data of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
It is showing temperature anomalies from the base period of 1951 to 1980.
The Climate Spiral is designed by climate scientist Ed Hawkins from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Reading.
It creates a map of global temperature rise due to intense human activities.
The visualization chart has the year in its center and the months of the year around on its radius.

There are five concentric circles labeled with negative 2 degrees Fahrenheit to 2 degrees Fahrenheit with an outer ring with the largest value.
The cooler temperature is defined by white and blue colors while the warmer temperature is measured by orange and red colors.
These visualizations have been distributed widely around the world while a version was part of the opening ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, 2016.
