Method
Highest hourly air temperature at 2 m of each day, averaged over the days of the month, for the nearest ERA5-Land grid point with land values (grid of about 9 km). Hourly values, so the true daily maximum can be a little higher.

Hours with direct sunlight of at least 120 W/m², the World Meteorological Organization definition, averaged per day. Derived from hourly ERA5 direct radiation, converted to the direction of the sun, counted from 5 degrees solar elevation. Hourly data, so the value is an approximation.
