Has the climate in South Jordan changed?

South Jordan has warmed about 4.4°F since 1971.

About 0.8°F per decade, measured from South Jordan'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? South Jordan's climate has warmed faster than most other cities in United States.

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 19 fewer freezing nights a year and about 13 more days above 90°F compared with the 1970s.
