How we know when McCall peaks

Each date above is a multi-year climatology built from NASA satellite observations at that specific spot, with the definition of peak calibrated against ground cameras — not a regional average wearing a local name. Where a location has no usable observations of its own, we withhold the date and point you somewhere nearby that does.
