Its 1991–2020 ERA5-Land normal is a mean annual temperature of 9.5 °C (January 1.6 °C, July 18.1 °C) with 878 mm of precipitation a year. This is reanalysis, not station weather.

Not reported for this city: Population & demographics, Housing & living costs, Employment, Education, Births & deaths, Transport costs, Tourism, Culture. Eurostat Urban Audit coverage is voluntary, so some indicators are unavailable for some cities.

Every figure is an official indicator with its source linked. Ranks compare only records with the same reference year and geography grain. See the methodology.
