Where the figures come from

Venice 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.

Venice's sunshine is measured 26 km from the centre, at Treviso / S. Angelo.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Seville: 1991-2020 normals, Sevilla / San Pablo (8.1 km from centre). Venice: 1991-2020 normals, Venezia / Tessera (6.7 km from centre).
