Has the climate in Niitsu-honchō changed?

Niitsu-honchō has warmed about 1.9°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Niitsu-honchō's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Niitsu-honchō's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Japan — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.
