Please add celcius to the scale EDIT: it can be changed at the top right
I can only see data on Celcius.
Maybe it depends on your location?

#52It's a little weird looking at e.g., Central Africa and seeing no maps. Maybe they chose locations based on population? Either way, would be nice to fix this, as there are places with data available.

#53From the point of view of someone living in northern North America, this is quite warmth-biased, with
* temperatures below "very cold" being called "freezing" (huh? mere freezing is not considered terribly cold in much of North America, where "very cold" would likely restricted for T * "comfortable" extending into times of year when the heat and humidity bothers most locals
* the favourable tourist times being centred on warm periods, in contrast to the actually favoured period of autumn, with warm days and crisp nights, the trees a marvel of colour.

#55Cool project!
Would be interesting to see a metric on "average temperature change since 1960" to see which places have been hit hardest by climate change
Saying the planet has increased in temperature by 1.5 degree doesn't mean much - but if a city has increased in temperature by 5 degrees, I think that makes it feel much more "real"

Their tourism score for Queensland, Australia is completely back-to-front. The climate is tropical/sub-tropical so peak tourism season is winter when it's warm, clear skies and no rain. Summertime is storm season: muggy, cloudy and heavy rain.
Summer is also stinger season so you can't swim north of Cairns without head-to-toe covering due to the box jellyfish risk.

#57It'd be cool to be able to show the most similar fingerprints for any location. I.e. I want to see which locations have similar climate to city X.

#58So many ads.
one needs to make money somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Comfortable” is not only a function of temperature, but also relative humidity and wind speed. Based on this site, there are no good times to visit Hawaii - it’s always too warm to be comfortable, even in the middle of the night. I assure you this is not the case. ;)
It is a “temperature fingerprint”, and not a comfort fingerprint, but maybe “neutral” would be a better word here.

#60I like the way that this site lets you compare "pleasantness" of climates, e.g. humidity + temperature etc year round. This makes me wonder, where in the world has the objectively "best" climate? Comfortable or warm all year round, not too humid, not too windy, lots of sun.
I'm gonna advocate Tenerife (my island) since it would be amazing to have more HNers around :)

Doesn't seem to get much better according to weatherspark :)
