It's a nice idea, for sure. I'm not sure I'd use it much since other considerations apart from weather also exist. A few things I've noticed: • The search could use some awareness about other names of locations. For example, München cannot be found, Munich can. Tübingen doesn't seem to exist at all (maybe too small). • For people outside the US (yes, they exist) it'd also be nice to have a site-wide switch to metric.…

omg the metric one is so important. it should even be default 8-o

Depends on where most of your audience comes from.

This seems really off: https://championtraveler.com/dates/best-time-to-visit-portla... It's says the daily highs in the summer are low 60s and that the driest months are in the middle of the winter.

> It's says the daily highs in the summer are low 60s Temperature numbers show the average for the week. E.g. the "high" on the dot is not the highest average day, but the average high. I double checked and these look correct. Check out the "heat index" adjusted numbers below for perceived temperatures, as Portland feels significantly warmer due to humidity in the summer. > the driest months are in the middle of the…

Ah, weekly average makes more sense.

As to the second part:

"If dry weather is what you’re after, the months with the lowest chance of precipitation in Portland are November, December, and then February."
