Overview

Analysis reveals sunshine duration strongly drives air temperature rise in Kraków, suggesting significant climatic implications.

Key Points

  • Air temperature in Kraków has increased by about 2.2–2.3°C since the late 1980s, aligning with sunshine duration changes.
  • Significant sunshine duration increased by approximately 500 hours, closely linked to shifts in cloud structure and macro-circulation.
  • Analysis showed sunshine duration accounts for 58% of variance in annual temperature, highlighting its critical role.
  • Findings underscore the need to focus on solar radiation influx rather than solely on radiative forcing for climate studies.
