Has the climate in Altdorf changed?

Altdorf has warmed about 2.2°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Altdorf's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Altdorf's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Switzerland — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.
