Has the climate in Corsicana changed?

Corsicana has warmed about 2.9°F since 1971.

About 0.5°F per decade, measured from Corsicana's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Corsicana's warming is broadly in line with other cities in United States — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

a warmer-than-average year a cooler-than-average year

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 3 fewer freezing nights a year and about 8 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up
