Where the figures come from
Negril's temperatures are measured 52 km from the centre, at Montego Bay / Sangster.
Negril 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. Negril: 1991-2020 normals, Montego Bay / Sangster (51.8 km from centre). Warsaw: 1991-2020 normals, Warszawa-Okecie (7.7 km from centre).
