Has the climate in Temuco changed?

Temuco has cooled about 0.7°F between 1974 and 2020.

About 0.2°F per decade, measured from Temuco's official daily weather records, 1974–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Temuco's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Chile.
