Where the figures come from
Ocho Rios's temperatures are measured 62 km from the centre, at Kingston / Norman Manley.
Ocho Rios 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. Mumbai: 1991-2020 normals, Bombay / Santacruz (5.4 km from centre). Ocho Rios: 1991-2020 normals, Kingston / Norman Manley (61.9 km from centre).
