Methodology & sources

Melbourne

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 24 years of daily observations at Melbourne Regional Office, a weather station, inside the city. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.

Cloud, humidity, wind & sunshine — modelled estimates from NASA POWER, NASA's satellite-and-reanalysis climatology. This is the standard global source for atmospheric variables, which are not measured at most weather stations.

Nagoya

Temperature & precipitation — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from the Japan Meteorological Agency, measured at Nagoya, about 6 km from the city centre.
