Has the climate in Médéa changed?

Médéa has warmed about 4°F between 2002 and 2024.

About 1.8°F per decade, measured from Médéa's official daily weather records, 2002–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Médéa's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Algeria.

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 6 more freezing nights a year and about 29 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 13 years of daily observations at Medea, a weather station, about 3 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
