Has the climate in West Carson changed?
West Carson has cooled about 0.9°F since 2012.
About 0.8°F per decade, measured from West Carson's official daily weather records, 2012–2025. 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.
West Carson's temperature, year by year
Average temperature for each year from 2012 to 2025.
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.
