🌞 Summer Solstice 2025: UHVstore.com Shows Its Stripes for Climate Awareness

On June 21, we mark the summer solstice — the longest day of the year and a powerful symbol of light, change, and renewal. At UHVstore.com, we are proud to join the global #ShowYourStripes initiative to raise awareness about climate change using clear, region-specific temperature data.

🎨 Warming Stripes: Making Climate Change Visible

The now-iconic Warming Stripes were created by climate scientist Ed Hawkins of the University of Reading. This powerful visual consists of a series of colored stripes — each representing the average temperature of a single year. The pattern transitions from blue (cooler) in earlier decades to red (warmer) in recent years, creating an unmistakable signal of a warming planet.

For our region — specifically "Temperature Mean (North of the Alps <1000 m), 1864–2024", based on official data from MeteoSwiss — the trend is clear:

🔵 Cooler past → 🔴 Rapid warming in recent decades
