Has the climate in Grantham changed?

Grantham has warmed about 2°F between 1992 and 2024.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Grantham's official daily weather records, 1992–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Grantham's warming is broadly in line with other cities in United Kingdom — 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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Cranwell, a weather station, about 17 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
