How to read our climate tables

Climate helps you choose a travel season. A weather forecast helps you plan individual days nearer departure. They answer different questions.

  • Tables use published monthly normals from official weather services or their station records in the WMO/NOAA archive. Each article identifies the source, station and reference period.
  • Most series cover 1991–2020; the AEMET series used here cover 1981–2010. A station describes its location, not every nearby coast or elevation. We do not turn these different series into a universal destination ranking.
  • Daily highs and lows are monthly averages of daily maxima and minima, not records. Rainfall in millimetres is a monthly total. Rain days use the stated threshold, such as ≥1 mm or ≥0.1 mm in Taipei. Missing measurements do not mean zero.
  • A monthly average does not predict the weather on your travel date. Check a local forecast shortly before departure. Travel-season recommendations are editorial interpretations of the cited data; these climate tables do not provide current conditions or weather alerts.

Original sources are linked in each climate article.
