Heat Seeker Score is a composite score designed for those who crave hot, sunny weather with minimal rainfall. It prioritizes high temperatures and abundant sunshine.

Perfect for sun worshippers, beach lovers, and those seeking warm, dry climates for outdoor activities and relaxation.

Key factors in the calculation:

High temperatures: Favors locations with warm to hot daily highs
Abundant sunshine: Rewards areas with maximum daylight hours
Low precipitation: Penalizes frequent rain and wet conditions
Warm nights: Considers comfortable evening temperatures

Kyoto experiences discomfort temperatures in January, February, and December due to low minimums
July and August see discomfort due to high maximum temperatures exceeding 30.0°C
Comfortable temperatures are observed from April to June and September to October
The most comfortable months appear to be May, June, September and October.
