Where the figures come from
Amalfi's temperatures are measured 65 km from the centre, at Grazzanise.
Amalfi 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. Amalfi: 1991-2020 normals, Grazzanise (64.7 km from centre). Prague: 1991-2020 normals, Praha-Libus (8.1 km from centre).
