Has the climate in Longview changed?

Longview has warmed about 1.2°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.4°F per decade, measured from Longview's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. 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 warming is broadly in line with other cities in United States — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 25 years of daily observations at Kelso-longview Airport, a weather station, about 4 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
