Has the climate in Darnah changed?

Darnah has warmed about 0.7°F between 1973 and 2010.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Darnah's official daily weather records, 1973–2010. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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