Has the climate in Niagara Falls changed?
Niagara Falls has warmed about 6.8°F between 1992 and 2020.
About 2.3°F per decade, measured from Niagara Falls's official daily weather records, 1992–2020. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.
What has actually changed
Each card compares the 1970s (the first ten years of the record) with recent years (the last ten) — the same span the headline and the chart use.
Niagara Falls's temperature, year by year
Average temperature for each year from 1992 to 2020.
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 Port Weller (aut), a weather station, about 22 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
