Comparison between the Tampere UHI station and the suburban station since the former's inception:
As you can see, there is very little difference in highs, but massive ones in lows and thus in means as well.

Nakiska Ridgetop Station located west of Calgary (2543m) records temperature and sometimes wind gusts. Mid-winter is not much colder than nearby Kananaksis (1391m), but summer is short and chilly.  It's just cold enough to qualify as ET, and the station is not far above the tree line. It's exposed which explains the high winds.
 It just so happened that it was cold and wet recently. Snow in August? At 4pm on the 23rd it was 1C at the weather station which is 300m higher than the camera.  All the warm days in January are suspicious, with a reading as high as 14. More details in spoiler. The warmest temp was 14.0 on January 27, 2003. The hourly data was below freezing all day. Fake. climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?StationID=10104&timeframe=2&time=LST&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2021&Day=1&Year=2003&Month=1#The second warmest was 12.3 and 12.1 on January 18-19, 2009. Hourly readings match, and nearby Kananaskis was warm that month. But it was on different days. Kananaskis on 15/16, no hourly data  Nakiska is warm on 18/19. It's 1200m higher than Kananaskis, and 8 degrees warmer that day? Unlikely.  The third was 9.4 on January 7th, 2003, Hourly readings peaked at 8.6, so it's possible. And Kananaskis reached 15.5. There were two days that reached 8 around the +12 days in 2009. And 7.9 in 2016 but that's 2 degrees higher than any hourly reading. The highest one that's not suspicious at all was 5.8 in 2015. Kananaskis reached 17 that day and the hourly stats match up. I tried to follow the WMO 3 and 5 rule for including months, except I deleted some months with data that was suspect. For example, June 1998 had a bunch of -10 lows, even a -18 low. No other years were that cold. Wind can be intense. 10227 days in the data set 4171 have some data for wind gust (Including "<31", but not blank or "M") 1254 reported 100km/h or greater (62mph) 337 reported 150km/h or greater (93mph) 59 reported 200km/h or greater (124mph) The highest days 554 (error - 2003-01-30) 369, 3 times (errors - all in December 2002) 219, 9 times (136 mph) 217, 9 times Then 215, 213, 211... it's converting knots to km/h. 554 is 299 knots and 369 is 199 knots. |

At desiccatedi85 's request from last month, here're weather boxes for the two ARSIAL (Lazio's agromet. agency) sites for the Velletri area. Guess it's mostly orographic lift making things wetter? This one's a few kilometers to the south, seems reliable  The other one just east of town. Highs don't fit lapse rate and data from my PWS at similar elevation, but including it anyways  Call me a Botev if you want, but here's Ciampino AP 2010-2020 for a fairer comparison:  |

Wank Wank Wank Wank Wank. Look how similar Velletri is to my dream climate. Benny, you are blessed to live in one of a select few A+ climates on this earth. I know you're moving to Sicilia which you prefer, but for me, it just doesn't get better than Velletri. Dream climate here for comparison.

Here’s Briggsdale, it’s 37 miles east of here. It’s the closest station with accurate solar radiation with a long-ish por that can be used to estimate sunshine hours usually Tommy’s method.  It’s more continental, drier and much less snowy than here which can be expected as it’s out on the plains. Sunshine trend still would be the same and it’s a good enough approximation for Fort Collins. Probably +/- 50-60 hours for here. Impressive stat is that dipped down to -18 f (-28 c) last October. |

Here’s Buckhorn Mountain, an interesting climate about 12 miles west of me.  |

Here’s Buckhorn Mountain, an interesting climate about 12 miles west of me. It looks like a slightly colder version of Flagstaff. |

It looks like a slightly colder version of Flagstaff. Opposite precipitation pattern though. Also much more snow and less concentrated in winter. |

Matinicus Island (1981-2010 Averages) A small island with a small population 22 miles off the coast of Maine. Very cool summers. Must be depressing and desolate during winter as everyone else leaves and only 20 people remain on the island. Sounds like the start to a good horror flick.  |

Middle Island, Ontario. Southernmost point in Ontario. Lake Erie keeps summer lows very warm.  |

The CSU ARDEC ag mesonet station has solar radiation back to 1992 and unlike the the Fort Collins AERC station, doesn’t have unrealistically high solar radiation values for several years. It’s located northeast of here so I used the east Fort Collins station.  |

North of Salalah, Oman are the Dhofar Mountains, which turn very lush during the khareef season in July and August. Qairoon Hairiti lies at 881 m elevation.  |

I made climoboxes for some interesting upslope foothill locations in SoCal that are at some elevation. They are far better than the dry, mild coast of SoCal as they get more rain (due to orographic effects) and have some more continentality, so they're true Mediterranean paradises unlike the semi-arid coast. I used old Western Regional Climate center data to get the averages, so some of the periods of record are a little old and wacky, but it's fine.

Caribou Island is a small island located towards the eastern side of Lake Superior approximately 50 miles from shore. It experiences extremely moderated temperatures as well as extreme seasonal lag. I've been wanting to find modern climate normals for Caribou Island for a while now, so I finally did it yesterday. I made climate normals from the new AUT station at Caribou Island, Ontario from 1996-2021. Unfortunately some years had some months missing so this data is not a perfect representation of the current climate of the island. The months available from 1996-2021 for me to average were between 17 and 21 months, with most months containing 20 years of data. Note that the 1996-2021 Normals contain extremes only from that period of time. Weather Station I used I also inputted climate normals for the island from the official 1951-1980 and 1941-1970 normals though there is no data available for the months of December to April for these older normals.   |
