Has the climate in Isparta changed?

Isparta has warmed about 5.1°F between 1971 and 2024.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Isparta'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? Isparta's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Turkey — 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 16 fewer freezing nights a year and about 4 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 22 years of daily observations at Isparta, a weather station, about 2 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
