Supplementary notes

Too hot (cold) and too rainy (dry) months are defined as months with average temperature (in °C) or precipitations (in mm) outside the 90% confidence interval of recorded values. For instance, a too cold January has a temperature that, out of 100 Januaries, is so unlikely that it would be recorded at most 5 out of 100 times.
