Where the figures come from

Agra 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. Agra: 1942-2025 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Agra (6.2 km from centre). Doha: 1991-2020 normals, Doha International Airport (5.5 km from centre).
