Methodology & sources
Madrid
Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Madrid/getafe, a weather station, about 13 km from the city centre. 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.
Castries
Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.
Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 10 years of daily observations at LE Lamentin, a weather station, about 66 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
