The Temperature You Feel

Actual vs. perceived temperatures across cities and seasons, based on ten years of weather data (2016–2025).
6 highlights from the data

Dubai feels hotter than Riyadh, even when it's cooler.

In July, Riyadh's average daily high is 43.4°C, compared with 41.0°C in Dubai. But Dubai's feels-like high is 44.5°C, while Riyadh's is only 40.6°C.

Dubai's summer nights are hotter than most cities' days.

In July, Dubai's average daily low feels like 35.2°C — hotter than the hottest month's average feels-like high in 23 of the 38 cities, including Rome, Paris and London.

Singapore barely cools down, even at night.

Singapore's average daily lows feel like 27.7–30.6°C throughout the year. Even its coolest month has a higher feels-like low than London's hottest month has a feels-like high.

Two cities near the equator can feel completely different.

Singapore and Nairobi are both about 1.3° from the equator. But in their hottest months, Singapore's average daily high feels like 37.4°C, compared with just 27.6°C in Nairobi.

Seoul experiences almost 45 degrees of seasonal change.

Seoul goes from an average feels-like low of −11.2°C in January to a high of 33.7°C in August. That's a 45°C seasonal range, compared with 36°C for air temperature.

Mumbai gets almost all its rain in four months.

From June to September, Mumbai gets 92% of its annual rainfall. July alone averages 808 mm — roughly as much as Cairo gets in 25 years.

Methodology & Data

Hourly data from the Open-Meteo Historical Weather API, covering 2016–2025. "Warmest hours" and "Coolest hours" show each local day's maximum and minimum, taken separately for air and feels-like temperature, then averaged by month across ten years. Humidity is averaged daily, then by month. Precipitation, including snow, is summed by month, then averaged across years. Within each region, cities are sorted from warmest to coolest by their average feels-like temperature over the year.

"Feels like" refers to Open-Meteo's apparent temperature, which accounts for air temperature, humidity, wind, and sunlight. It is a modelled estimate rather than a measure of individual perception. Monthly averages smooth out short-term extremes such as heat waves and cold snaps.
