GeoNames, WorldClim, CRU, NOAA, Wikivoyage, Wikidata, GBIF and government travel advice — bulk and live.
- 02Clean & match
Historical places removed; every town matched to its region, climate grid, sea cell and guide.
- 03Compute
Go score, sea season, rain days, sunshine, daylight, nearest airports and similar climates for each place.
- 04Publish with sources
Every section shows where its data comes from and when it was last updated.
Dataset
How is the go score calculated?
The go score (0–100) rewards daytime highs of 22–27 °C, mild nights, sunshine and few rainy days. Thermal comfort makes up most of the score, then rain days and sunshine. Months with frosty nights are scaled down.
