Has the climate in Franceville changed?

Franceville has warmed about 0.7°F between 1986 and 2020.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Franceville's official daily weather records, 1986–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 13 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
