Has the climate in Wasaga Beach changed?

Wasaga Beach has cooled about 1.4°F between 1995 and 2020.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Wasaga Beach's official daily weather records, 1995–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Wasaga Beach's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Canada.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Collingwood, a weather station, about 16 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
