Has the climate in Souk Ahras changed?

Souk Ahras has warmed about 1.6°F between 2003 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Souk Ahras's official daily weather records, 2003–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Souk Ahras'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 6 more freezing nights a year and about 36 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
