Air & weather: sources and methodology

Monthly averages cover 2023–2025. Each year’s monthly value is calculated first, then qualifying years receive equal weight. AQI, temperature and humidity require 90% observation coverage; rainfall requires complete daily totals. At least two years support every displayed month. Gaps show insufficient coverage.

Air quality uses mean US AQI. Temperature is air temperature at 2 metres; humidity is relative humidity at 2 metres. Rainfall is the average of each year’s monthly rainfall total. Observations use Asia/Kolkata. Collected 2026-10-20.
