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 #

The temperature ranges across all four cities are relatively similar throughout the year.
Kathmandu, Bharatpur, and Jitpur can experience discomfort temperatures in January due to minimum temperatures falling within the 1.0C to 5.0C range.
Pokhara tends to have slightly warmer minimum temperatures compared to the other three cities, especially during the cooler months.
All cities maintain comfortable maximum temperatures between March/April and October.
