Methodology & data
We help with one travel decision: which destination fits my travel month and my desired climate?To do that we condense historical climate data into understandable scores — transparent and traceable.
Data sources
Air climate (temperature, humidity, wind, rain, sunshine) comes from NASA POWER long-term monthly means; sea-surface temperature from NOAA OISST (30-year monthly climatology). Where a value is missing, it stays open — we do not invent numbers.
Important: climate values are averages, not a weather forecast. Actual weather may differ.
The climate score
For each month we compute four understandable scores (0 to 100): Beach, City break, Active and Family. Each combines the relevant factors — for the beach score, warm days, a warm sea, little rain and plenty of sun. The overall score is a weighted mix of the four.
Every recommendation names two positive reasons and at most one caveat, so the rating stays transparent.
What we deliberately avoid
- no weather or storm forecast
- no invented values for missing data
- no safety, visa or medical advice
- no thousands of thin pages with only swapped numbers
