Has the climate in Rawson changed?

Rawson has warmed about 0.7°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.1°F per decade, measured from Rawson'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? Rawson's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Argentina — 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 7 more freezing nights a year compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Trelew Aero, a weather station, about 17 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
