Has the climate in Kokkola changed?

Kokkola has warmed about 1°F since 2008.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Kokkola's official daily weather records, 2008–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Kokkola's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Finland.
