Has the climate in Khujand changed?

Khujand has warmed about 2.3°F since 1971.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Khujand's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Khujand's warming is broadly in line with other cities across Asia — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

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 34 fewer freezing nights a year and about 14 fewer days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
