Has the climate in Schaffhausen changed?

About 1.1°F per decade, measured from Schaffhausen's official daily weather records, 2004–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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