Methodology: for each festival we take its 2026 site coordinates and calendar window, pull daily precipitation and max temperature for the same window across 1995-2024, and count the years. Festivals without confirmed coordinates are excluded rather than guessed. Weather data by Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
