Frequently Asked Questions

What is "perfect weather"?

For this site, perfect weather generally means comfortable temperatures (around the low 70s °F), sunshine, light winds, and low-to-moderate humidity. The Perfect Weather Index summarizes those factors into a single 1–10 score.

How do you choose the top cities and states?

Cities get a raw score based on the forecast at their location, plus a population-aware adjustment so the top 10 isn't dominated by tiny towns. States are ranked by average score across the forecast grid.

My perfect weather preference differs from yours.

That's fair - weather preference is personal. Try the Find Your Perfect Weather tool to set your own temperature range, humidity tolerance, and rain preference.

Are there limitations I should know about?

Yes. Forecasts and comfort can vary within a metro area due to elevation and microclimates. This index is best used as a high-level guide for comparing regions - then zoom in on local details.
