Has the climate in Brooklyn Center changed?

Brooklyn Center has warmed about 1.4°F since 1998.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Brooklyn Center's official daily weather records, 1998–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Brooklyn Center's warming is broadly in line with other cities in United States — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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 24 more freezing nights a year and about 4 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
