Where the figures come from

Brasov 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. Brasov: 2016-2025 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Brasov (3 km from centre). Innsbruck: 1991-2020 normals, Innsbruck-Flughafen (3.3 km from centre).
