The first part of a long series of climate battles featuring the highest weather stations of each country. To be included, a country must have a station with the following:
- elevation greater than or equal to 100 m (328 ft)
- at least 5 years of data for max temp, min temp, and precipitation in every month
Since many of these stations are very obscure with data that is hard to find, it can be tricky to filter out bad data so there will probably be some things that look funky. Hopefully it won't be too bad though. In many cases, a higher station exists but there is insufficient data to calculate averages.
Any country/territory/dependency with a qualifying station and its own country code will be included: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
Starting from the lowest stations first:
1. Hershey, Belize (100 m/328 ft):
2. Guernsey Airport, Guernsey (Channel Islands) (101 m/331 ft):
3. Mykines, Faroe Islands (105 m/344 ft):
4. Norfolk Island Airport, Norfolk Island (112 m/367 ft):
5. Taipa Grande, Macau (113 m/371 ft):
- elevation greater than or equal to 100 m (328 ft)
- at least 5 years of data for max temp, min temp, and precipitation in every month
