Has the climate in Nkurenkuru changed?

Nkurenkuru has warmed about 0.8°F between 1991 and 2022.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Nkurenkuru's official daily weather records, 1991–2022. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Nkurenkuru's warming is broadly in line with other cities across Africa — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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.
