How to read this number

Data sources and methodology

Based on 16 years (2010-2025) of historical climate stats, not a forecast.

See method, data source, and limitations

An occurrence = at least one of: max temp >= 33°C (heat), daily precip >= 30mm (rain), gust >= 70km/h (wind), min temp <= -10°C (cold) on a given day. One day is enough to count that week/year.

Built from ERA5 reanalysis retrieved through the Open-Meteo Archive API. Covers 100 cities over 2010–2025; gridded data combines observations and models.

This index is historical statistics, not a weather forecast. Wind gust is an imperfect proxy for typhoons, and grid resolution may miss microclimates.
