How the score works

The season score is a relative 0–100 measure of how suitable each time of year is for travel at this destination, grouped into seven levels. It combines climate-normal trends in temperature, rain, cloud cover, and other conditions.

Data: NASA POWER, NOAA GHCN-Daily, OISST, IBTrACS, and Natural Earth.

These are historical climate-normal trends, not a weather forecast.
