Has the climate in Prato changed?

Prato has warmed about 1.6°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Prato's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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