Where the figures come from

Liverpool's temperatures are measured 47 km from the centre, at Manchester Airport.

Liverpool 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. Innsbruck: 1991-2020 normals, Innsbruck-Flughafen (3.3 km from centre). Liverpool: 1991-2020 normals, Manchester Airport (47.4 km from centre).
