Historically, many different notation systems have been used to record chess moves; the standard system today is short-form algebraic notation. [10] In this system, files are labeled a through h and ranks are labeled 1 through 8. Squares are identified by the file and rank they occur on; g3 is the square on the g file and the third rank.
The highest recorded temperature is 35.6 °C (96.1 °F) from 1992, and the lowest is −43.5 °C (−46.3 °F) from 1940. [235] The annual average precipitation is 662 millimetres (26.1 in), [236] with the daily record being 148 millimetres (5.8 in). [237] Snow cover varies significantly on different years.
