Has the climate in Neuquén changed?

Neuquén has warmed about 1.8°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Neuquén's official daily weather records, 1971–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Neuquén's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Argentina — 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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 3 fewer freezing nights a year and about 3 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 22 years of daily observations at Neuquen Aero, a weather station, about 6 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
