Where these numbers come from
Monthly averages for January 2001 – December 2020 from the NASA POWER project, for the area around W. A. Mozart Airport (SZG) at 47.79, 13.00. The model covers a grid about 50 km across, so a coastal or hilly spot can run a degree or two different. Retrieved 12 September 2026.
