Has the climate in Likiep changed?

How Likiep's climate has changed

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Likiep's official daily weather records, 2014–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Likiep's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Marshall Islands.

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

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 51 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
