Show Your Stripes Day 2026
This Saturday, 20 June, is Show Your Stripes Day, a global moment to share concern about climate change and call for urgent action.
The day revolves around the Climate Stripes, a simple but powerful visualisation created by climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading. Each stripe represents one year's average temperature, in most cases running from 1861 to 2025. The colours shift from cool blues to deep reds, and the trend is impossible to ignore. So far, 2024 was the warmest year on record globally.
On Show Your Stripes Day individuals, schools, businesses, and cities around the world are invited to download their local warming stripes and share them on social media, in classrooms, on building facades, T-shirts... the possibilities are endless.
You can download your own local stripes at showyourstripes.info: select your country and region, and share using the tag #ShowYourStripes.
Ed Hawkins' amazing visuals are a beautiful example of how data graphics have the power to make the invisible visible.
