Has the climate in Nanyang changed?

Nanyang has warmed about 2.4°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Nanyang'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? Nanyang's warming is broadly in line with other cities in China — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Nanyang, a weather station, about 12 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
