Has the climate in Edirne changed?

Edirne has warmed about 8.6°F since 1973.

About 1.6°F per decade, measured from Edirne's official daily weather records, 1973–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Edirne's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in Turkey.

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 5 fewer freezing nights a year and about 11 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 25 years of daily observations at Edirne, a weather station, about 1 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
