From 1961–1990 to 2016–2025 it gained 42 days a year, the largest rise of the 14 countries in this comparison. El Salvador (from 14 to 42) and Guatemala (from 10 to 36) come next. The average rose by at least a day in 12 of 14 countries; in Costa Rica and Panama it barely changed.

Notes

  • Single years swing widely: averaged over its territory, Paraguay had 115 days above 35 °C in 2024, its highest since 1960, and 82 in 2025. That is why the text compares multi-year averages, computed by VerDat from the World Bank’s annual data.
  • Data from Copernicus’s ERA5 reanalysis, which combines observations with a weather model. 1961–1990 is the World Meteorological Organization’s reference period for climate change; the chart starts in 1960 because earlier ERA5 has even fewer observations.
  • The 14 countries in this comparison do not include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Haiti or Venezuela. A national average does not show the differences between a country’s regions.

The chart's figures come from queries to the official sources cited below, frozen on the date shown. The text was written with AI assistance; every figure it cites is computed from those data and checked automatically.
