Methodology & sources
Quito
Temperature & precipitation — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
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.
New Orleans
Temperature & precipitation — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from NOAA's U.S. Climate Normals, measured at New Orleans Audubon (NOAA GHCN station USW00012930), about 7 km from the city centre.
