Where the figures come from

The Hague 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.

The Hague's sunshine is measured 60 km from the centre, at De Bilt.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Seville: 1991-2020 normals, Sevilla / San Pablo (8.1 km from centre). The Hague: 1991-2020 normals, Valkenburg (13.6 km from centre).
