Has the climate in Ludza changed?

Ludza has warmed about 2.3°F between 1994 and 2024.

About 1.1°F per decade, measured from Ludza's official daily weather records, 1994–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.
