Has the climate in Xızı changed?

Xızı has warmed about 2.7°F between 1973 and 2020.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Xızı's official daily weather records, 1973–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Xızı's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Azerbaijan — 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 5 more freezing nights a year and about 24 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
