Has the climate in Gonder changed?

Gonder has warmed about 1.1°F between 1971 and 1994.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Gonder's official daily weather records, 1971–1994. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Gonder's warming is broadly in line with other cities across Africa — 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 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.

January has warmed the most — about 3.0°F. The warming runs across the whole year, not just one season.
