Has the climate in Hohhot changed?

Hohhot has warmed about 3.5°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Hohhot's official daily weather records, 1971–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 44 fewer freezing nights a year and about 3 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

February has warmed the most — about 3.1°F. The warming runs across the whole year, not just one season.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 22 years of daily observations at Hohhot, a weather station, about 3 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
