Winnipeg



London



Reykjavik



Novosibirsk



Anchorage



Las Vegas



These all seem accurate, BUT there are few "strange" boxes:

Grand Forks, North Dakota



Summers are much hotter than the Wikipedia box.

Kyzyl



Winters are much milder than the Wikipedia box.

Ahvaz



Summers are much hotter than the Wikipedia box.

Harbin



This looks correct.

Buenos Aires



Sydney



Melbourne



Hobart



Alexandra, New Zealand. It's more "oceanic" than the Wikipedia box.



Comodoro Rivadavia



Esquel



Punta Arenas



Cape Town



Nelson, New Zealand



Apart from a few mistakes, it doesn't seem too bad. What else do these climate boxes show?

The equivalent of the Wikipedia "mean maximum" and "mean minimum" for each month (Miami):



Sunshine days (Dublin):



Maximum temperatures (Nuuk):



Precipitation amounts (Seattle):



Wind speed (Singapore)



I don't think it's something to throw in the bin. Do you like it?

Yes, it's definetly something to throw in the bin. Another page maded by amateurs in order to gain visits and money if someone seeks: "climate of X" they will probably appear amongst the first results.

Lol what a joke. The climates of Winnipeg and Grand Forks are very clearly warmer than what they actually are in these graphs. They look more like what the climate is "projected" to be in the year 2050.

And look at Ardahan.

Official average low in January is -17*C

According to Meteoblue climate, average low in January is -8*C

How is the difference?

Winnipeg looks more accurate compared to Ardahan

What the actual ****?

I'm laughing so much 😂

Meteoblue is far from perfect, but some cities are not bad, like London

Hilarious

I just looked up Malta & I think they just plucked the figures from thin air & no doubt have no idea where Malta even is... For example the warmest month on Meteoblue for Luqa (August) shows an average high of 25C, when the actual average high is 31.8C, with the average hottest day as 27C, when it is actually 38C The mean for Luqa in August is 27.2C, higher than their "hottest day" lol...

It also says no average days of 20C or above until May, when it says that month averages 3.3 days
May has an average high of 24.1C & the mean is almost 20C (19.8C)

I could go on but you get the idea

Melbourne's temperatures are fine, it uses the airport data. The thing that's wrong with it is that it is way too dry. Where are they getting that info from?
