Packtricia calculated February city-area ERA5 averages via Open-Meteo for 1991–2020: mean daily high -1.7°C, mean daily low -6.2°C and mean monthly precipitation 35.1mm. Thirty complete year-months contribute equally: daily maximum/minimum means and monthly precipitation sums are averaged across years. Requested coordinates 59.4370,24.7536 returned grid 59.5,24.75. Modelled grid estimates are not local station normals. Packing bands extend rounded means by 2°C either way, not forecasts or limits on extremes. Monthly precipitation is not daily rain probability. Actual trip weather and hill or park exposure matter.
