Has the climate in Eagle River changed?

Eagle River has warmed about 0.5°F since 2003.

About 0.2°F per decade, measured from Eagle River's official daily weather records, 2003–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

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

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.
