About SeasonMap

SeasonMap is a climate-first travel map. Pick a month and the kind of trip you want — beach, city walking, hiking, or snow — and it ranks destinations around the world by how good the weather actually tends to be, then explains why each one scored the way it did.

How it works

Scores are built on climate normals for the last ten years (2016–2025) — typical temperature, rainfall, humidity, sunshine, wind, sea temperature and air quality for each month. The base layer is the Copernicus ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis (ECMWF), read through Open-Meteo; air quality comes from the Copernicus CAMS reanalysis. Where a real weather station stands nearby, its records from NOAA (GHCN-Daily and Global Summary of the Day) correct the model — about three places in four are anchored to a measured instrument. These are historical averages that describe a typical season, not a forecast, so always check a current forecast before you travel. Every score shows the numbers behind it, and the methodology page explains how they are combined and what the travel-style weights are calibrated to.

Why we built it

Most weather tools tell you what it's like in one place. SeasonMap answers the question you actually have when planning a trip: where should I go this month — and when is each place at its best?

Who makes it

SeasonMap is an independent software product. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any government, airline, or weather agency. The climate data come from public sources (see above) — contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service and Atmosphere Monitoring Service information (2026); station data courtesy of NOAA NCEI — and the comfort scores are our own estimates.
