Has the climate in Encarnación changed?

How Encarnación's climate has changed

About 0.0°F per decade, measured from Encarnación's official daily weather records, 1973–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 34 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
