Deer Valley's station stands 297 m below the city centre, so the centre is likely a little cooler than the figures say.

Saint-Tropez 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.

Saint-Tropez's sunshine is measured 62 km from the centre, at Nice.
