Has the climate in Opole changed?

Opole has warmed about 3.4°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Opole'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? Opole's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Poland — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.

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 30 years of daily observations at Opole, a weather station, about 7 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
