Where the figures come from
Fethiye's temperatures are measured 31 km from the centre, at Dalaman.
Fethiye 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. Fethiye: 2000-2020 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Dalaman (30.8 km from centre). Granada: 1991-2020 normals, Granada / Caserío Hospicio (5 km from centre).
