Padua daily temperature 1980-2022

Daily minimum and maximum temperature measurements collected in Padua, Italy, between 1980 and 2022, are reported. Over this period, the weather station of Padua center underwent many changes, in location or instrument; therefore, some homogeneity tests have been used to identify and remove the effects of these variations and obtain a homogeneous time series. Both absolute and relative tests have been applied and several nearby stations and two reanalysis datasets (ERA5 and MERIDA) have been considered, to enhance the picture of the local situation and provide more robust conclusions. The original observations and the final complete corrected time series with the associated metadata are reported.
