Hi all! Some background on the project: I want to build a house someday, and the first step is deciding where to build. I knew an interactive map like this would be useful, but after fiddling with leaflet.js for a while and googling for climate data, I felt a bit lost. So I decided to try something new: I hired a contractor on Upwork who had experience with map visualizations. They built an MVP within a few weeks, an…
Reading the comments makes me wonder if I'm the only one who would even be interested in this, but I really like variety, so I'd love to be able to be able to layer semitranslucent layers on top of each other. It's probably way too much customization, but if I want somewhere that has at least 30 days that don't get over 30 degrees, as well as maybe 15 days above 90 degrees, I'd kind of have to have it open in two win…

Hmm, I can probably incorporate humidity data without too much trouble. Is there a standard way to calculate a "feels like" temperature using humidity? btw, thanks for reminding me of the pleasant places map -- I think it must have been an unconscious influence on this.
The calculation from the NWS: https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_heatindex (see the linked PDF[1]) Given an air temperature (T) in °F and a relative humidity (rh). Indexheat = − 42.379 + (2.04901523 × T) + (10.14333127 × rh) − (0.22475541 × T × rh) − (6.83783×10−3×T^2) − (5.481717 × 10−2 × rh^2) + (1.22874 × 10−3 × T^2 × rh) + (8.5282×10−4 × T × rh^2) − (1.99×10−6 × T^2 × rh^2) [1] https://www.weather.gov/media/epz/w…

Redwood City: Climate Best by Government Test
I lived in Redwood City for a few years. It was fantastic. We moved there from Tennessee, and after the first week we were like “wow, it has been clear blue skies every day this week!” After another four months with barely a cloud in the sky, it dawned on us that the climate really was quite incredible (although there are two seasons, “green” and “brown”, and the months are swapped from what they are in the southeast…
This is pretty minor nitpicking overall, but the middle of the day can feel a little harsh for these reasons. The landscapes also get dried out.
This is more noticeable in the south bay than SF and thereabouts
I must say, it's frustrating clicking this link and landing on a page narrowed to the USA, and, to top it off, in Fahrenheit… Maybe a title change would be welcome.
And the climate was... Perfect.

Sorry! I'd love to extend this to other countries, but I wasn't sure where to get the data.
Temp in Celsius doesn’t need getting any extra data :)
If you're used to that, it's easy to remember that C = (F-32) * 9 / 5.

Ha, no, not yet. Looking more closely at NC though. I want to have a nice mountain view, so maybe I need to incorporate topological data too somehow.
NC is a very temperate and beautiful place. Good prices and jobs too. If you live in the middle, both the ocean and mountains are 3 hours away.

Yep. Personally I'm interested in finding two locations: one with great weather throughout the summer, and one with great weather throughout the winter.
If I had the money... Spokane throughout the summer, central Florida during the winter.
