Where the figures come from

Snowbird has no weather station within reach, so its figures come from a gridded climate model rather than a measured record, and read a broad area rather than the city itself.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Snowbird: 1991-2020 normals, TerraClimate 4 km grid at the town, no weather station within 90 km. Toulouse: 1991-2020 normals, Toulouse / Blagnac (7 km from centre).
