Has the climate in Tshabong changed?

Tshabong has cooled about 4.2°F between 1995 and 2011.

About 2.6°F per decade, measured from Tshabong's official daily weather records, 1995–2011. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Tshabong's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Botswana.

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 20 years of daily observations at Tsabong, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
