Has the climate in El-Tor changed?

El-Tor has warmed about 2.8°F between 1995 and 2024.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from El-Tor's official daily weather records, 1995–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? El-Tor's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Egypt — 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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 26 years of daily observations at EL Tor, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
