Has the climate in Interlaken changed?

Interlaken has warmed about 2.9°F between 1991 and 2023.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Interlaken's official daily weather records, 1991–2023. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Interlaken's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Switzerland — 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.
