Has the climate in Palm Coast changed?

Palm Coast has warmed about 2.6°F since 2000.

About 1.2°F per decade, measured from Palm Coast's official daily weather records, 2000–2025. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Palm Coast's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in United States.

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 8 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.

When in the year the change shows up

How much warmer each month is now than in the 1970s. Useful if you garden or care about a particular season — otherwise the headline above already has the answer.
