About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Goldsboro's official daily weather records, 2011–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Goldsboro's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in United States.
