When is a comparison fair?
When is a comparison fair?
- Same kind of place. A city is one grid square about 28 km wide. A state is an average of many squares, and the world is one global average. Comparing different kinds is allowed, but it is not like for like and the page says so.
- Same years and same usual. Both places are shown for the same year and against the same 1991 to 2020 average.
- Same measure. Daily highs and lows are compared only when both places have them. Otherwise the average of day and night is used.
- No records against estimates. An official station record is never compared with a grid estimate.
- Not compared here: hot days (estimates exist only for some cities and carry a large error) and warm nights (not available).
Common questions
Common questions
Can I compare a city with a state or with the whole world?
You can, and the page will say so. A city is one grid square about 28 km wide, a state is an average of many squares and the world is one global average, so such a comparison is not like for like. Read the note under the table.
Why is rainfall missing when the world is one of the places?
Rain for the whole world is not available in this data, so rainfall is compared only when both places have it.
Why are hot days and warm nights not compared?
Hot-day figures exist only for some cities and carry a large error, and warm nights are not available. We would rather leave them out than compare numbers that are not reliable.
Data to September 2026. Figures from July 2026 onwards are early and can change a little. Refreshed about every three months. “Usual” means the 1991 to 2020 average. See Data sources and methods.
