Where the figures come from

Bratislava 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.

Bratislava's sunshine is measured 56 km from the centre, at Wien / Hohe Warte.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Bratislava: 1991-2020 normals, Bratislava Ivanka (8.6 km from centre). Toulouse: 1991-2020 normals, Toulouse / Blagnac (7 km from centre).
