Has the climate in Piracicaba changed?

Piracicaba has warmed about 1°F between 1973 and 2020.

About 0.2°F per decade, measured from Piracicaba'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? Piracicaba's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Brazil — 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 7 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from INMET, Brazil's national meteorological institute, measured at Sao Carlos, about 82 km from the city centre.
