Has the climate in Lévis changed?

Lévis has warmed about 3.9°F between 1978 and 2020.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Lévis's official daily weather records, 1978–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Lévis'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.

When in the year the change shows up

April has cooled the most — about 1.0°F. The warming runs across the whole year, not just one season.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Lauzon, a weather station, about 6 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
