Sources, method and limits

How these numbers are made (what the highs, lows and rain days mean, the sources and the model cell used for Pétionville) is explained once on the Pétionville year overview and on the Sources, method and limits page.

Port-au-Prince, Cité Soleil and Croix-des-Bouquets lie in the same rainfall cell, so their rainfall figures are identical to these; temperatures differ because they come from smaller 0.1° cells.
