Frequently asked questions about Santa Fe's Climate Shift Index score
How fast is Santa Fe's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Santa Fe ranks 58 of 245 world capitals for how fast its climate is shifting. That places the city in the fastest-changing third of the ranking. The ranking measures pace of change, not how hot or how pleasant a city is.
What is changing fastest in Santa Fe?
The fastest-shifting variable in Santa Fe is wind speed, at +0.9 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 Santa Fe warming per decade?
Santa Fe is warming at +0.30°C/decade across 1976 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.9°C. The trend accounts for 27% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Santa Fe getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +4.0 days/decade in Santa Fe. On this trend that is roughly 12 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Santa Fe losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by -7.5 days/decade in Santa Fe. 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 Santa Fe'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. Santa Fe scores 63.3. 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.
