Has the climate in LaSalle changed?

LaSalle has warmed about 5.6°F between 1993 and 2020.

About 2.0°F per decade, measured from LaSalle's official daily weather records, 1993–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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 27 years of daily observations at Windsor Riverside, a weather station, about 14 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
