Has the climate in Santarém changed?

Santarém has warmed about 1.5°F between 1991 and 2021.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Santarém's official daily weather records, 1991–2021. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Santarém's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Portugal — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Lisboa/gago Coutinho, a weather station, about 65 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
