Has the climate in Koné changed?

Koné has cooled about 0.8°F between 1995 and 2019.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Koné's official daily weather records, 1995–2019. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Koné's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities across Oceania.

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Poindimie (nlle-caledonie), a weather station, about 49 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
