About 3,900 hours of sun a year. Roughly 61 rainy days a year.

These are long-run climate normals, not a forecast. A given year can sit well outside them. PM2.5 is a global model: near the coast it counts sea salt as fine particulate and reads high against ground stations, sometimes by a factor of two. Use the shape of the year, not the absolute number.

where these numbers come from

  • · Temperature, rainfall and sunshine: ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis climate normals via Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0), fetched once and stored.
  • · PM2.5: Copernicus CAMS reanalysis, monthly means. Modelled, not station readings; near coasts CAMS counts sea salt as PM2.5 and reads high.
