Has the climate in João Pessoa changed?
How João Pessoa's climate has changed
About 0.2°F per decade, measured from João Pessoa'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.
What has actually changed
Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.
João Pessoa's temperature, year by year
Average temperature for each year from 1973 to 2020.
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.
