Has the climate in Greenville changed?

Greenville has warmed about 3.1°F since 2002.

About 1.3°F per decade, measured from Greenville's official daily weather records, 2002–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Greenville's climate has warmed faster 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.
