Where the figures come from

York 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.

York's sunshine is measured 48 km from the centre, at Leeming.

Temperature and rainfall are climate normals, averaged over the years shown. Tbilisi: 1991-2020 normals, Tbilisi (13.8 km from centre). York: 1991-2020 normals, Linton-On-Ouse (14.9 km from centre).
