Climate data

When i found this semi-protected article on 25 May 2015, it had two climate data tables, one from NOAA (for which someone had vandalised the url) and one from Climate-Data.org (where the data had apparently been vandalised). The data in the table allegedly from Climate-Data.org did not in fact match the data as given at their web site. For example the maximum temperatures for June, July and August were listed as:

49.3°C (120.7°F),  47.8°C (118°F),  and  34.1°C (93.4°F)  data in article;

35.5°C (95.9°F),  36.9°C (98.4°F),  and  35.8°C (96.4°F)  data at the Climate-Data.org webpage.

The data in the NOAA table come from weather station #41506, named "Chitral", which is at the Chitral Airport (ref) outside the town of Chitral, and is from a higher elevation than Arundu, and thus the lower recorded temperatures. The best course at this point seems to me to be to use the actual data from the Climate-Data.org in constructing a new table. Any comments? --Bejnar (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

One of them was created by a suspected sockpuppet, who was messing around on Arundu and Arandu. The one they created is likely incorrect- unfortunately I'm not sure which one was theirs. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I removed the one created at Arandu (and copied here when I merged the articles):

• @Joseph2302: so should we keep the NOAA table which is from a different location, or should we replace it with a table using the actual Climate-Data.org data? Or should we go without a climate table? --Bejnar (talk) 19:41, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not experienced in articles about places, I guess if the other table is also wrong, that should also be removed. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:52, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I have replaced the incorrect one with a table containing the actual data from "Climate:Arundu". Climate-Data.org / AmbiWeb GmbH.. --Bejnar (talk) 06:15, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

It seems that the coordinates were vandalised as well. GNIS gives: 35° 18' 38" N, 071° 32' 59" E which is a lot closer to the actual 35° 18' 37" N, 071° 32' 55" E from Google Earth. I will correct. --Bejnar (talk) 19:41, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Title

Per Google Books search, "Arandu" AND "Chitral" gets about 1,170 results, but "Arundu" AND "Chitral" gets only about 37 results. So the COMMONNAME is Arandu and it is also a more accurate transliteration. The article must be moved to the correct and COMMONNAME. Khestwol (talk) 06:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

I have now fixed the title. The new title is "Arandu, Chitral". Khestwol (talk) 07:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

@Khestwol: Is there another Arandu in Pakistan? Normally disambiguation takes places at the highest unambiguous geographic level. --Bejnar (talk) 15:29, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Bejnar, there is just one Arandu in Pakistan. Google Maps search gets no other Arandu in Pakistan. So "Arandu, Pakistan" might be a better title. Khestwol (talk) 16:08, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
