Has the climate in Yecla changed?

Yecla has warmed about 1.5°F since 1971.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Yecla's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Yecla's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Spain.

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 5 fewer freezing nights a year and about 14 more days above 90°F 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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Albacete Los Llanos, a weather station, about 75 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
