Has the climate in Stavropol changed?

Stavropol has warmed about 4°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Stavropol's official daily weather records, 1971–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Stavropol's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Russia — 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 6 fewer freezing nights a year and about 8 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Stavropol (amsg), a weather station, about 5 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
