Historical Climate Change
Rising Temperatures
Central New York is getting warmer. From 1950 to 2021, average annual temperature in Tompkins County increased at a rate of 0.3°F per decade.
More Total Rainfall
Central New York is getting wetter. From 1950 to 2021, total annual precipitation in Tompkins County increased at a rate of 0.87 inches per decade.
Even though precipitation is increasing, by the end of the 21st century Tompkins County is likely to experience more short-term drought. This can happen when higher temperatures lead to increased evaporation of soil moisture, outweighing the increased rainfall.
