Data change history

Change types and comparisons

A period change reflects a new period. Same-period data changes distinguish confirmed source corrections from reasons still under review. Changes to coverage or methods require care when comparing. More than one type can apply.

A single month, a year-to-date total, and a moving window cover different spans. Entering or leaving a top-N list alone does not establish a change in the population studied. Counts of observed stations or countries describe the saved data, not necessarily the source population.
