Has the climate in Giresun changed?

Giresun has warmed about 3.7°F since 2002.

About 1.5°F per decade, measured from Giresun's official daily weather records, 2002–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Giresun'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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 14 years of daily observations at Giresun, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
