Dear Ernesto,

You haven't need to write 365 applications for the whole year to increase
the temperature e.g. 2 degree, you simply need to add one application and
give a start date to model for example it is 1/1/1970 for this particular
modification, it will automatically modify the whole weather series starting
from that specified date to the date or year for which you want to simulate.

Best wishes

Humaira
