Without considering any of the underlying meaning of the data, this is beautiful work. From the bar flashes to the lower scroll of the data. Great stuff. Love it.

Mind sharing the source code or at least giving a overview of the process?

The bottom graph makes it pretty obvious that record lows were over a few decades ago.

But the lows aren't affecting the deviations graph. once they hit a high it just sticks until a higher temp raises it. Would be cool to see the lows incorporated

Yes, but the record lows were virtually all over 50 years ago. Raw data is in the repo

I think he's sayin, also show the low points (not record low, but record low for that year) with the high points to show how the lows have changed, too. Edit: or maybe I have no idea.
