A typical day: 8am morning, 2pm afternoon, 8pm evening — on each country’s own clock, at its capital. Rain is the month’s total, and the bar is the same scale everywhere: full at 200 mm. Ten-year averages (2011–2020) measured at the capital — a coast or a mountain a few hours away can be nothing like it.
