Where the figures come from

Havana 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. Casablanca: 1991-2020 normals, Casablanca (5.6 km from centre). Havana: 1991-2020 normals, Casa Blanca, La Habana (3.5 km from centre).
