Has the climate in Gordes changed?

Gordes has warmed about 1.8°F between 1991 and 2019.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Gordes's official daily weather records, 1991–2019. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Gordes's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in France.

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 21 years of daily observations at Carpentras, a weather station, about 22 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
