A month-by-month sightseeing-comfort score for 138 of the world's cities across 54 countries, computed from ten-year climate normals. Find the best time to visit anywhere.

Each month is scored 0–100 for sightseeing comfort from ten-year climate normals (Open-Meteo): we reward a daytime high near 23°C and penalise cold nights, heat above 30°C and frequent rain. A city's "best" months are those within 4 points of its own peak.

Comfort score (0–100), higher is better:excellentgoodfairpoorharsh

Best time to visit, city by city

Each number is a comfort score from 0–100 — higher (greener) is better. These are scores, not temperatures.
