Has the climate in Laredo changed?

Laredo has warmed about 1.9°F since 2012.

About 1.4°F per decade, measured from Laredo's official daily weather records, 2012–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Laredo'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.
