Where the figures come from

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.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Park City: 1999-2020 (rainfall 1991-2020) normals, Evanston (78.8 km from centre). Porto: 1991-2020 normals, Porto / Serra Do Pilar (2.1 km from centre).
