Has the climate in New Albany changed?

New Albany has warmed about 0.8°F since 2011.

About 0.6°F per decade, measured from New Albany's official daily weather records, 2011–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? New Albany'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.

In day-to-day terms, that long-term shift shows up as about 25 more freezing nights a year and about 15 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
