Has the climate in Dambai changed?

Dambai has warmed about 0.7°F between 1992 and 2024.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Dambai's official daily weather records, 1992–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Dambai's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Ghana — 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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Atakpame/akpaka, a weather station, about 116 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
