Has the climate in Casper changed?

Casper has cooled about 0.7°F since 2001.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Casper's official daily weather records, 2001–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Casper's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in United States.

What has actually changed

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.
