The extreme temperature analysis is triggered if the maximum temperature at the NBCN meteo station **Binningen/Basel ** exceeds the 95 percentile or is below 5th percentile for the given month . This means that 95% of all maximum temperatures measured during the current month in the past were colder or warmer than the temperature of the day of interest. The temperature and sunshine duration values will then be compared to various historical periods.

The aim of the report is to identify notable weather events (anomalies) and compare them with historic data.
