Has the climate in Belgrade changed?

Belgrade has warmed about 5°F since 1971.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Belgrade's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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 8 fewer freezing nights a year and about 12 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Belgrade (observatory), a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
