Today is #ShowYourStripes day! Created by @ed_hawkins, the warming stripes show how temperature has changed over time around the world and where you live.
Each stripe is one year: blue for cooler than average, white for average, pink for warmer. And you can probably guess what red means.
This year, the UK's National Trust is projecting warming stripes onto St Michael's Tower on Glastonbury Tor, with the message "Start a conversation about our warming world."
In previous years, the stripes have been used on football kit and ski uniforms, as music festival backdrops and train wraps and magazine covers and even to illuminate the white cliffs of Dover and the Eiffel Tower. They show up wherever people want to start that conversation about climate.
