Has the climate in Chino changed?

Chino has warmed about 1.9°F between 1971 and 2020.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Chino's official daily weather records, 1971–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

What has actually changed

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 37 fewer freezing nights a year and about 4 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from the Japan Meteorological Agency, measured at Suwa, about 7 km from the city centre.
