Where the figures come from
Marmaris's temperatures are measured 49 km from the centre, at Dalaman.
Marmaris 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. Marmaris: 2000-2020 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Dalaman (48.8 km from centre). Mumbai: 1991-2020 normals, Bombay / Santacruz (5.4 km from centre).
