TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on changes in extremes since pre-industrial times and identify three periods of changes in tem- perature extremes: decreasing warm extremes before the late 19th century; decreasing cold extremes since then and increasing warm extremes since the 1960s.

TL;DR: In this article, the main results of the EU project Millennium in the Mediterranean area over the last 500 years were reported, and the authors analyzed a long series of temperature from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece.

TL;DR: In this article, day-to-day temperature variability is investigated in eight European series of daily mean temperatures beginning between 1722 and 1833, and the intramonthly standard deviation of daily temperature anomalies is found to be a good measure.

TL;DR: In this article, the long temperature series of Padova (1725-1998) has been corrected for all the systematic errors derived from any change in the instruments or the operative methodology, including instrumental drift, scale expansion, building influence, relationship between indoor-outdoor measurements, minima and maxima evaluation from observations performed at different times, homogenisation for difference of level and change of site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of the analysis of the 14 longest precipitation instrumental series, covering the last 300 years, that have been recovered in six subareas of the Western Mediterranean basin, i.e., Portugal, Northern and Southern Spain, Southern France, Northern Italy.
