Participating Countries in the Olympic Games

This Flourish visualization is a bar chart displaying the count of countries that have participated in both the Summer and Winter Olympics from 1896 to 2020. The horizontal axis represents the years of the Olympic Games, starting from 1896 and marked at four-year intervals, reflecting the frequency of the Olympics. The vertical axis indicates the number of countries, with a scale from 0 to over 200.

The bars rise in height from left to right, showing an overall increase in participation over time. The bars for the early 1900s are quite short, indicating fewer participating countries, and the bars grow progressively taller towards 2020, suggesting a significant increase in the number of countries taking part in the Games.

Circles on the map represent the countries, with the size of each circle corresponding to the number of Nobel laureates associated with that location. The larger, more prominent circles are primarily concentrated in Europe and North America, indicating a higher number of Nobel laureates in these regions compared to the rest of the world. The data is sourced from Nobel Media AB.

Migrants Detected Crossing the Channel

This scatter plot tracks the number of migrants detected crossing the channel over time, from March 2022 to March 2023. Individual daily crossings are plotted as light blue dots, with a darker blue line indicating the fortnightly average. The graph shows variability in daily numbers, with a notable peak on June 11, where 549 migrants were detected — the highest recorded on a single day within the displayed timeframe. The data is sourced from the Home Office and Migration Watch UK and was last updated on June 20, 2023.

Observed Changes in Hot Extremes

This hexagon-tiled map illustrates the observed changes in hot extremes across various global regions. The hexagons, each labeled with an acronym for a specific geographic region, are colored to indicate the type of observed change: dark red for an increase in hot extremes, light red for regions with limited data or literature, and light gray for areas where there is low agreement in the type of change observed. The majority of the map is dark red, signifying that most regions—such as North West North America (NWN), East North Africa (ENA), and Western South America (WSA)—are experiencing an increase in hot extremes. The source of this data is CEDA, visualized through a Flourish data explorer.
