I was looking at Infoclimat (infoclimat.fr) recently because the site seems to have a large amount of weather station data and climate data especially from European countries, data from locations that I could not find on Tommy's climateatlas.org for example.
Is Infoclimat's data legitimate? I noticed for some places it looks legitimate, but in other reporting stations the data collection often leads to spotty climate charts when looking at 1991-2020 normals, for example, with entire months missing from the normals in either temps or precip.
Just asking because if it is legitimate I'd like to add wiki weatherboxes for a bunch of places. |

Nope. That site contains lots of missing data which won't give very accurate normals, I wouldn't bother with any unofficial sources for climate normals (i.e. other than WMO and a country's respective metorological agency).

Nope. That site contains lots of missing data which won't give very accurate normals. Some of the stations do have full normals though, which look accurate. Others have a lot of weird things or missing data in their averages. |

No.
Even most observational websites aren't very trustworthy. Idk why is there a 2-3°C difference between official observations and IEM mesonet.
But for most cases IEM mesonet remains fairly accurate.

infoclimat is great. not 100% trustworthy though. especially for non-french territories. it's a few decimals wrong here and there.
