Has the climate in Olsztyn changed?

Olsztyn has warmed about 3.7°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 1.1°F per decade, measured from Olsztyn's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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