Has the climate in Curitiba changed?

Curitiba has warmed about 2.5°F between 1979 and 2020.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Curitiba's official daily weather records, 1979–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Curitiba's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Brazil.

What has actually changed

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from INMET, Brazil's national meteorological institute, measured at Bacacheri, about 5 km from the city centre.
