Has the climate in Kerki changed?

Kerki has warmed about 3.9°F between 1974 and 2024.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Kerki's official daily weather records, 1974–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Kerki's climate has warmed faster than most other cities across Asia.

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 2 fewer freezing nights a year and about 17 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Kerki, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
