Ok then, it was me. I was just testing out my editing skills in NSW climate tables, filling in all information that was avaliable on the climate site. But, I was not happy that all my edits were reverted by other editors, just because I prefered having cliate tables with a lot of information. Therefore, I no longer edit on Wikipedia.
Life hack: don't lie. If you are caught on a lie, own it. Anything else will just make everything worse. Liars tend to get caught if they aren't really good, and most liars aren't. Its taken me 50 years honing my bullshit skills, and I still get caught out every now and then. The trick is, of course, to make the lie/deception somewhat plausible, and this might make further digging around not worth fussing on. Agreed, get caught out, own it...... |

MET That reminds me of the thermometer on an old digital rain gauge I had. The rain gauge portion was pretty accurate but the temperatures were wack: 110+ F on sunny summer days, 90s in April and November, 60 F diurnal ranges, etc. It usually read a few degrees too low at night, and way too high during the day: ridiculous enough it was actually fun to see where it was going to end up by the end of each day.

Pretty representative of Guildford's climate. |

 San Francisco apparently has a UV index of 5 throughout the summer. |

jgtheone Just checked the wiki page, apparently the "source" is MSN weather Yeah I got redirected to some archived page. I thought this was that stupid heat island station in the middle of London but it's a town that's about 30km outside of London in Hertfordshire. |

Um, really? Maybe the data is taken from the surrounding mountains, as I find it hard to believe the town itself is that cold. It's at an elevation of 136 m just outside of Cape Town ...  |

From the source listed, which isn't very accurate but definitely makes more sense:  |

climate-data.org isn’t a particularly reliable site oftentimes, but this data from nearby Paarl looks pretty representative of the actual area. Also this is likely the best climate in South Africa   |

Someone boteved Melbourne's humidity values from Jan to Mar, it should be in the upper 40s during those months.  |

Interesting thread idea, so I revived it.  Here some suspicious climate tables I found randomly by chance: 1.Boké, Guinea. Despite from a reputable source (NOAA), those high diurnal temperature ranges are a bit suspicious. By the way, the town is at 30 m in elevation, and the humidity is not super low during the winters.  2.Rome, Italy. Apparently, in French Wikipedia, Rome has suspiciously high temperatures and sunshine; while having lower precipitation. Sacre bleu!
This has been called out by Crunch41 apparently 3 years ago, but has not been fixed. Here is the table: Le Climat de Rome. Look at how hideous the data is compared to English!  Compare that to this: Rome's Climate |
