article_snippet: The graph above shows how the entropy - or predictability - of Central European air temperatures have become less predictable over time scales of between 12 months and 70 months.
article_snippet: Researchers at the University of Leicester found that the climate appears to have become less regular recently when temperatures are examined on times-scales of longer than 12 months.
article_snippet: Interestingly, the changes We found only operated on time-scales longer than about a year. '
article_snippet: On these time-scales the climate seems to have become less predictable.'
article_snippet: The research team, shoe work is published in the journal Climate, used this approach to analyse the Central European variance-adjusted mean monthly air temperature anomalies.
article_snippet: The research team found that air temperatures between 1961 and 2014 have become less predictable than between 1850 and 1960 over time scales of between 12 months and 70 months.
article_snippet: Such changes in the temporal scaling behaviour of climate time-series data can be difficult to detect. '
article_snippet: It is possible that climate system feedbacks are expressed in altered temporal scales of the European temperature time-series data.'
highlights_snippet: Scientists at the University of Leicester scientists found patterns of temperature changes that occur every 12-70 months .
