Has the climate in Iligan City changed?

Iligan City has warmed about 0.7°F between 1992 and 2013.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Iligan City's official daily weather records, 1992–2013. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Iligan City's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Philippines.

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.
