Has the climate in Shūnan changed?

Shūnan has warmed about 1.1°F between 1992 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Shūnan's official daily weather records, 1992–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Shūnan's climate has warmed more slowly 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.
