Weather Score #

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.

Formula optimized for hot weather enthusiasts who prefer temperatures above 25°C (77°F) with maximum sun exposure and minimal precipitation.

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

Temperatures #

Sapporo stands out with its significantly colder temperatures, experiencing discomfort temperatures for more than half of the year.
Kyoto has the lowest temperatures among the remaining cities during winter months, even reaching discomfort levels in January and February.
Most of the other listed cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, maintain relatively similar temperature ranges, with comfortable conditions prevailing for a significant portion of the year and hot summers.
Nagoya and Saitama can be seen as having the hottest temperatures in the summer compared to other cities.
Yokohama is the mildest of these cities.
