Has the climate in Walla Walla changed?

Walla Walla has warmed about 1°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Walla Walla's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Walla Walla's climate has warmed more slowly 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.
