Decadal average temperature anomalies (difference between the decade and the 1901-1960 average temperature) for the Southeast region were plotted as a bar graph. Note: the far right bar contains data for 12 years (2001-2012).

Annual mean temperatures were averaged for all gridpoints in the Southeast region. Decadal averages were then calculated. Finally the 1901-1960 average temperature was subtracted from the decadal average temperature.

The duration of this activity was 6 hours.
