Has the climate in Al Buraymī changed?

Al Buraymī has warmed about 1.4°F between 1983 and 2024.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Al Buraymī's official daily weather records, 1983–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Al Buraymī's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Oman — 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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 121 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
