Has the climate in Ísafjörður changed?

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Ísafjörður's official daily weather records, 2011–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Ísafjörður's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities across Europe.
