Where the figures come from

Agadir has no rain gauge within 25 km of the centre, so its rainfall comes from a gridded climate dataset read at the city rather than from a gauge further away.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Agadir: 1945-2025 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Agadir (4.5 km from centre). Austin: 1991-2020 normals, Camp Mabry/Austin City Asos (3.7 km from centre).
