## How the Can Picafort figures are measured

There is no AEMET station in the resort itself. The nearest is B605X Muro, s'Albufera, 5.6 km in a straight line north-west of Can Picafort, 2 m above the sea. Its name refers to s'Albufera, the wetland that borders the bay between Port d'Alcúdia and Can Picafort. The next station after that is already 11.6 km away.
The basis is daily values for 2011 to 2025 from AEMET OpenData. For temperatures from September to November and rain in September there are 14 complete years, otherwise 15. A rain day is a day with at least 1 mm of precipitation. The same station also supplies the figures for Alcúdia.
The sea temperature comes from NOAA OISST v2.1, a daily satellite analysis on a 0.25 degree grid. The grid cell at 39.875 N and 3.375 E lies about 22 km north-east of Can Picafort. The closer cell in the bay touches land and has no value.
At the beach in Can Picafort the weather on a given day can differ from the station. The figures are averages, not a forecast.
