Has the climate in Longview changed?

Longview has warmed about 1.6°F between 2002 and 2024.

About 0.7°F per decade, measured from Longview's official daily weather records, 2002–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Longview'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.
