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 Burton upon Trent) is explained once on the Burton upon Trent year overview and on the Sources, method and limits page.

Tamworth lies in the same rainfall cell, so its rainfall figures are identical to these; temperatures differ because they come from smaller 0.1° cells.
