Has the climate in Guarda changed?

Guarda has warmed about 2.1°F between 1998 and 2022.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Guarda's official daily weather records, 1998–2022. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.
