This perfectly illustrates the difference between hypothesis and thesis.

So what's a hyperthesis?

It's what you end up if you are close to running out of funding and need to stretch your results to fit the hypothesis.
A hysterthesis is all the wasted energy doing revisions, after you try to defend it.

I was going to ask if there was some kind of definition of the terms. I shan't bother now.

A Dan Neidle 'graph' on which it appears there is no South West in England. Well, no west at all, apart from Bristol & Bath.

I think the ones in the middle might classify, but I haven't got the patience to work out why they think triangles are the best way to convey the information.

Seems perfectly clear+sensible to me! The graphs aren't showing observed data.(although I haven't read the articl, I confess!)

It's just that the graphical element of the triangles to explain in three separate 'graphs' doesn't add anything other than three prettily-coloured triangles saying that three-say heatwaves might peak on the first, second or third days. Well, duh. The second graph says that longer heatwaves are, well, longer, and might peak in the first, second, or third parts of the heatwaves. But at least the shapes of the lines do convey a bit of extra information beyond the categories.
