Has the climate in Briton Ferry changed?
Briton Ferry has warmed about 1.5°F between 1991 and 2023.
About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Briton Ferry's official daily weather records, 1991–2023. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.
What has actually changed
Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.
