I see a huge jump between the 17th and 18th but I have no idea what that means. Can someone please explain? Or is the jump minor, and the axis is to blame for the seemingly large change?

I have no idea either, but I'd guess it's an insignificant change based on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13676862

Silicon Valley is far from "Europe" though...

Without any context or explanation, the link isn't really useful nor interesting. Is a daily average change of roughly 0.5 uR/h meaningful? We can see from the hourly chart above that short-term fluctuations can be between roughly 0 and 20 uR/h, what is a meaningful change? It's currently very unclear what the linker is trying to say with sharing the link and why it was shared to begin with.

Note the scale. The "huge jump" is from 8.3 to 8.7 uR/h, just a few percent.

nevertheless it seems quite significative, and I would love to get some explaination for this kind of jump.

agreed, there's 0 context here and I'd be highly interested to know why the graphs are being up voted.
