Where the figures come from
- Air and rainfall: averages for 1996 to 2025 from weather-model data (reanalysis) for the named place. A rainy day has at least 1 mm of rain.
- Sunshine: modelled hours. On the coast they tend to run high, because the model only roughly captures trade-wind cloud.
- The mountains have no sea temperature. Above 1,000 m, winter nights can fall below 5 °C.
