Has the climate in Puerto La Cruz changed?

Puerto La Cruz has warmed about 1°F between 1991 and 2022.

About 0.3°F per decade, measured from Puerto La Cruz's official daily weather records, 1991–2022. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Puerto La Cruz's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Venezuela — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Del Caribe Intl Gen Santiago Marino, a weather station, about 106 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
