Has the climate in Franca changed?

Franca has warmed about 1.2°F between 1973 and 1995.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Franca's official daily weather records, 1973–1995. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Franca's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Brazil.
