GeoNames geographical databasePlace names, stable GeoNames IDs and coordinates identify the settlement to which a nearby station is matched. GeoNames attribution is retained on destination pages.CC BY 4.0YesYes

How the evidence is handled

We calculate monthly summaries only where the nearby station and each month meet the coverage checks. A place without enough evidence remains searchable, but does not receive a climate answer. Derived values are labelled as historical or calculated; they are never presented as a prediction.

We do not publish raw source archives or claim a public downloadable dataset. Holding an object in storage is not treated as permission to republish it.
