Has the climate in Cookeville changed?

Cookeville has warmed about 1.7°F since 2005.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Cookeville's official daily weather records, 2005–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Cookeville's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in United States.
