Has the climate in Mauldin changed?

Mauldin has warmed about 3.1°F since 1971.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from Mauldin's official daily weather records, 1971–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Mauldin's warming is broadly in line with other cities in United States — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 7 fewer freezing nights a year and about 10 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
