Has the climate in Enschede changed?

Enschede has warmed about 1.7°F since 2006.

About 0.9°F per decade, measured from Enschede's official daily weather records, 2006–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Enschede's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Netherlands.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 15 years of daily observations at Ahaus, a weather station, about 15 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
