Weather and index by day of year
2021–2025 archiveThis is not a forecast: it is the usual weather here on each day of the year. We take the ERA5 reanalysis archive for 2021–2025 and, for every date, compute the median of 35 days: ±3 days around the date over five years. The grid is about 25 km, so neighbouring villages share the same numbers.
Data: ERA5 (ECMWF, Copernicus Climate Change Service), 2021–2025; calculations and index by OpenVan.camp.
