Has the climate in Gijón changed?

Gijón has warmed about 2.5°F since 1982.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Gijón's official daily weather records, 1982–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Gijón's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Spain — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

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 3 fewer freezing nights a year compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

How much warmer each month is now than in the 1970s. Useful if you garden or care about a particular season — otherwise the headline above already has the answer.

October has warmed the most — about 2.1°F. The warming runs across the whole year, not just one season.
