Has the climate in Cagayan de Oro changed?

Cagayan de Oro has warmed about 0.7°F between 1992 and 2013.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Cagayan de Oro's official daily weather records, 1992–2013. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Cagayan de Oro's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in Philippines.

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 22 years of daily observations at Lumbia Airport, a weather station, about 8 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
