Methodology & sources

Macau

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Macau Intl, a weather station, about 7 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.

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.
