## Where the figures for Cala Ratjada come from

The climate values come from AEMET station B569X, which AEMET lists as CAPDEPERA. It stands 1.3 km in a straight line from Cala Ratjada, at 57 m above sea level.
The period analysed is 2011 to 2025. Three years are left out, namely 2013, 2016 and 2019, because too many daily values are missing in them. That leaves 12 years. These years have gaps too. Depending on the month, an average therefore rests on 8 to 12 years, in June on only 8 and in November on 9. A rain day is a day with at least 1 mm of precipitation.
The sea temperature is a NOAA OISST analysis for the grid cell at 39.625 N and 3.625 E, open sea around 17 km from Cala Ratjada. It is not a measurement at the beach.
