Quick answer
The WhereNext Climate Finder ranks 380 cities by composite climate score (annual temperature stability, humidity, sunshine hours, rainy days, extreme-weather frequency) crossed with cost. Ideal for "where is the weather like Lisbon's but cheaper?" or "where is Mediterranean climate available outside Europe?". Each city has a 0–100 climate score sourced from Open-Meteo + WorldClim historical data. Pair the climate filter with cost-of-living to find affordable cities at your preferred climate point — from year-round-warm (Bali, Mérida, Da Nang) to four-season-temperate (Porto, Tbilisi, Buenos Aires) to dry-Mediterranean (Lisbon, Valencia, Antalya).
Key facts
- 380 cities indexed composite climate score (temperature × humidity × sunshine × rainy days × extreme-weather).
- Climate × cost matrix find cheaper alternatives to expensive climate-twins (Lisbon → Porto, Tbilisi · Hawaii → Mérida, Da Nang).
- 4 climate archetypes year-round warm · four-season temperate · dry Mediterranean · cool/cold (find your fit).
- Sources Open-Meteo historical · WorldClim · WhereNext-curated extreme-weather flags (hurricane, monsoon, wildfire risk).
- Pairs with cost-of-living every city links to /tools/cost-of-living for its 14-category breakdown.
Annual climate at a glance — 4 archetype cities
Each vertical band shows the monthly low-to-high temperature range; the colour classifies the month by its high/low MIDPOINT. Green = comfortable midpoint (5-25°C); amber = hot midpoint (>25°C); grey = cold midpoint (<5°C). A green month can still have hot afternoons — read the bands for the extremes.

FAQ
How does the Climate Finder rank cities?▼
Cities are ranked by our climate index (0-100), which combines temperature moderation, sunshine hours, humidity levels, and rainfall patterns. Higher scores indicate climates that most people find pleasant year-round. You can override this by setting your own temperature and humidity preferences.
Can I filter by climate type (Mediterranean, tropical, etc.)?▼
Yes. Use the climate type filter to narrow results to specific climate classifications like Mediterranean, Tropical, Oceanic, Continental, Arid, Highland, or Monsoon. You can select multiple types to compare across climate zones.
How accurate is the climate data?▼
All 380 city climate profiles are sourced from Open-Meteo and climate-data.org, covering 30+ years of historical weather records. All temperature, rainfall, and sunshine figures represent annual averages.
