Has the climate in Ponticelli changed?

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Ponticelli's official daily weather records, 1973–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 9 more freezing nights a year and about 22 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
