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 5 more 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 Paulo(mir.de Santana), about 20 km from the city centre.
