Frequently asked questions about Carson City's Climate Shift Index score
How fast is Carson City's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Carson City ranks 196 of 245 world capitals for how fast its climate is shifting. That places the city in the slowest-changing third, which does not mean nothing is changing here, only that it is moving more slowly than elsewhere. The ranking measures pace of change, not how hot or how pleasant a city is.
What is changing fastest in Carson City?
The fastest-shifting variable in Carson City is wind speed, at +0.3 kt/decade. That is the change per decade, fitted as a linear trend across 1976 to 2025, so over 50 years of measured data rather than two isolated years.
How much is Carson City warming per decade?
Carson City is warming at +0.29°C/decade across 1976 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.9°C. The trend accounts for 17% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Carson City getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +5.3 days/decade in Carson City. On this trend that is roughly 16 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Carson City losing its winter?
Frost days are increasing by +4.3 days/decade in Carson City. Frost days are often the fastest-shifting variable in this dataset: cold extremes tend to warm faster than hot ones, which bears directly on anything sized for a cold season.
What does Carson City's Climate Shift Index score actually mean?
The score folds six variables (temperature, tropical days, frost days, precipitation, sunshine hours and wind speed) into one number, converting each into a percentile against every other ranked capital. Carson City scores 34.4. A low score does not mean nothing is changing, only that other capitals are shifting faster, and the score says nothing about how liveable or how warm a city is.
