Has the climate in Pelotas changed?

Pelotas has warmed about 2.2°F between 2000 and 2024.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Pelotas's official daily weather records, 2000–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.
