Has the climate in Makassar changed?

Makassar has cooled about 0.8°F between 1995 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Makassar's official daily weather records, 1995–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Makassar's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Indonesia.

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 25 years of daily observations at Ujang Pandang/paotere, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
