Has the climate in Yucca Valley changed?

How Yucca Valley's climate has changed

About 0.2°F per decade, measured from Yucca Valley's official daily weather records, 2011–2021. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Yucca Valley's climate has warmed more slowly than most other cities in United States.
