Has the climate in Pierrefonds changed?

Pierrefonds has warmed about 2.1°F between 1993 and 2020.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Pierrefonds's official daily weather records, 1993–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Pierrefonds's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Canada — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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 — 1991–2020 normals computed from 26 years of daily observations at Ste-anne-de-bellevue 1, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
