Has the climate in Bluefields changed?

Bluefields has warmed about 0.7°F between 1997 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Bluefields's official daily weather records, 1997–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Bluefields's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Nicaragua — 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.
