Has the climate in Fada N'gourma changed?

How Fada N'gourma's climate has changed

About 0.1°F per decade, measured from Fada N'gourma's official daily weather records, 1993–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Fada N'gourma's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Burkina Faso — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.
