Mean diurnal cycles of (a) 2 m temperature in the observations and in each of the models (averaged over the second to fifth lead time days). (b) Difference between models and observation. (c) Rate of change of 2 m temperature bias. In panel b, biases which are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level are shown in a bold line and those which are not using a thin line.
