Where the figures come from

Milan's sunshine is measured 41 km from the centre, at Novara / Cameri.

Park City's temperatures are measured 79 km from the centre, at Evanston.

Park City 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.
