Where the figures come from

Rovinj's temperatures are measured 64 km from the centre, at Trieste.

Rovinj 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. Pensacola: 1991-2020 normals, Pensacola / Pleasant Grove (12.3 km from centre). Rovinj: 1991-2020 normals, Trieste (63.7 km from centre).
