Has the climate in Gracias changed?

Gracias has warmed about 4.6°F between 1991 and 2023.

About 1.4°F per decade, measured from Gracias's official daily weather records, 1991–2023. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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 30 years of daily observations at Santa Rosa DE Copan, a weather station, about 30 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
