Where the figures come from
Goreme's station stands 160 m above the city centre, so the centre is likely a little warmer than the figures say.
Rovinj's temperatures are measured 64 km from the centre, at Trieste.
Rovinj 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. Goreme: 1991-2020 normals, Nevsehir (10.2 km from centre). Rovinj: 1991-2020 normals, Trieste (63.7 km from centre).
