Has the climate in Leander changed?

Leander has warmed about 1.5°F since 2008.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from Leander's official daily weather records, 2008–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Leander'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.
