Where the figures come from

Jaipur 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.

Jerusalem 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. Jaipur: 1993-2020 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Jaipur / Sanganer (11.1 km from centre). Jerusalem: 1991-2020 normals, Jerusalem (1.8 km from centre).
