Has the climate in Samarinda changed?

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Samarinda's official daily weather records, 1994–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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