The city selector changes the main comparison. The table shows each location separately. Coastal, inland and mountain conditions can differ greatly.
Where does the data for this day come from?
Forecasts come from HikersBay; historical temperature and precipitation data comes from NASA POWER. NASA data describes conditions in the area around each city.
Where do the figures come from?
NASA POWER Daily API. NASA POWER daily MERRA-2 grid data, 1981-2025. All 45 three-day periods are complete for every location shown. The same calendar dates are compared each year: 31 October - 2 November. Daily maxima and minima are averaged across each period. The frequencies show how often conditions occurred in the historical data. Precipitation includes rain and snow as water equivalent.
The 1991-2020 normal is a fixed 30-year chart reference. Other figures use the selected historical period; decade comparisons always use 1981-1990 and 2016-2025.
