Has the climate in Pavia changed?

About 1.6°F per decade, measured from Pavia's official daily weather records, 1971–2008. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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 6 fewer freezing nights a year and about 21 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
