Has the climate in Imarichō-kō changed?

Imarichō-kō has warmed about 1.8°F between 1993 and 2024.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Imarichō-kō's official daily weather records, 1993–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Imarichō-kō's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Japan — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.
