How it works
Describe your ideal weather.
Answer a short set of questions about temperature, humidity, sun, rain, snow and seasons. About two minutes.
Compare it with real climate data.
We check your answers against thirty-year monthly climate records for each city, season by season.
Discover your best-matching cities.
See a ranked list with a plain-language explanation of why each city matched and what you would be giving up.
Every city is a trade-off
No climate is perfect all year. The mildest summers often come with grey, damp winters. The sunniest places tend to be the hottest and driest. A coastline that never freezes may never feel crisp either.
So every match shows what the city gives up as well as what it gets right, and the percentage is a measure of fit to your answers — not a verdict on the city. Two people can see the same place at 94% and 41%, and both be right.

Built on climate records, not vibes
Comparing annual average temperature would put San Francisco and Lisbon in the same bucket. ClimateSearch scores every month separately against the season you actually meant — including for cities in the Southern Hemisphere, where your “summer” falls in December.
Every score comes with its reasoning and its gaps. Where we don’t have data, we say so instead of scoring it as a perfect fit.
