Has the climate in El Tarf changed?

El Tarf has warmed about 4.3°F between 1973 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from El Tarf's official daily weather records, 1973–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? El Tarf'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 days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 27 years of daily observations at Jendouba, a weather station, about 54 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
