Has the climate in Weifang changed?

Weifang has warmed about 4.5°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Weifang's official daily weather records, 1971–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 13 fewer freezing nights a year and about 6 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 25 years of daily observations at Weifang, a weather station, about 10 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
