Has the climate in Ogawa changed?

Ogawa has warmed about 1.6°F between 2005 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Ogawa's official daily weather records, 2005–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.
