Packtricia calculated March city-area averages from ERA5 reanalysis supplied by Open-Meteo for 1991–2020: mean daily high 7.9°C, mean daily low 0.6°C and mean monthly precipitation 61.7 mm. Thirty complete year-months contribute equally; daily maxima and minima are averaged within each month and precipitation is summed. Requested coordinates 48.8127,14.3175 returned grid 48.75,14.25. These are modelled grid estimates, not local station normals. Displayed bands extend rounded means by 2°C as a packing reference, not a forecast or limits on extremes. Monthly precipitation is not daily rain probability. Your actual forecast, river exposure and Castle slopes matter.
