Has the climate in Santa Teresa changed?

How Santa Teresa's climate has changed

About 0.1°F per decade, measured from Santa Teresa's official daily weather records, 1976–2009. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Santa Teresa's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Mexico.

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.

When in the year the change shows up

How much warmer each month is now than in the 1970s. Useful if you garden or care about a particular season — otherwise the headline above already has the answer.
