Monthly climate summary
Get a full year overview of historical weather for any location — see which months are best for your plans.
Enter any location to see a month-by-month climate summary based on 10 years of historical data. Each month shows average maximum temperature, precipitation chance, and a weather reliability score to help you identify the best time of year to visit.
Understanding the monthly climate data
Weather score per month
The monthly weather score (0–10) is the average across all days and years in that month. Months with predominantly sunny weather score 7–10. Rainy or cold months score 3–6, and stormy or very cold months score below 3.
Precipitation chance
The percentage of historical days in that month that had measurable precipitation (above 0.5 mm). A 30% chance means roughly 9 days of rain per month on average across the past 10 years.
Temperature range
Average minimum and maximum temperatures across all years and days in the month. This gives a realistic expectation of what temperatures to pack for, avoiding single-year anomalies.
Best month for travel
The month with the highest combined weather score — accounting for sunshine, temperature comfort, and low precipitation — is highlighted as the best time to visit. For many destinations, this is not always the peak tourist season.
Climate profiles by region
Mediterranean climate
Locations like Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and Marseille share a similar pattern: hot and reliably dry summers (June–August) with mild, wetter winters. Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures with occasional rain. The sweet spot is often May or September when temperatures are comfortable and crowds thinner.
Tropical climate
Tropical & subtropical
In destinations like Bangkok, Mumbai, and Cancún, the key distinction is dry season versus monsoon season. Monthly climate summaries reveal exactly when the heavy rain season begins and ends — often more precise than general travel guides that cite seasons in broad 3-month blocks.
Oceanic climate
Western European cities like London, Amsterdam, and Dublin have an oceanic climate with rain spread fairly evenly throughout the year. The monthly summary helps identify which months have slightly better odds — typically May–September show marginally higher weather scores than winter months.
Continental climate
Central and Eastern European cities like Prague, Warsaw, and Budapest show strong seasonal contrasts: cold snowy winters and warm summers. The monthly summary makes clear that July and August offer the highest weather scores, while January and February are the coldest and most overcast.
