Has the climate in Hūn changed?

Hūn has warmed about 1.4°F between 1977 and 2021.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Hūn's official daily weather records, 1977–2021. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

What has actually changed

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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 4 fewer freezing nights a year and about 4 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 14 years of daily observations at Hon, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
