Has the climate in El Menia changed?

El Menia has warmed about 5.4°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from El Menia'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? El Menia's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Algeria — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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 4 fewer freezing nights a year and about 28 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 23 years of daily observations at El-golea, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
