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.

Turin 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. Snowbird: 1991-2020 normals, TerraClimate 4 km grid at the town, no weather station within 90 km. Turin: 1991-2020 normals, Torino / Caselle (15.4 km from centre).
