Where the figures come from

Udaipur 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. Laguna Beach: 1981-2010 normals, Irvine (15.5 km from centre). Udaipur: 1978-2025 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Udaipur Dabok (20.6 km from centre).
