Although the data is to do with heat I feel a heatmap is not the best choice. A bar or line would have conveyed this data a lot better.

I don't think so. I've never seen this done with climate data like this. I'm not sure I like the 12 year long structure, it made it.easy to confuse with months. I would like to see the same data with 10 year averages for each month now.

Exactly this plus with only showing years and temperature you're forcing a 2 variable data set onto a heatmap which is best for 3 variable data. Showing months as the third variable would be much more intuitive and could show interesting trends like more/variation between months and stuff.
