Climate Finder — Pick temperature and air quality and find places that match

Hi PH! I've been working on this for the last few months, collecting historical climate data like temperature and rain but also historical air quality average for all months in the year. 🤔 Problem I'm trying to find a place to settle for longer which is relatively warm (but not too hot) all year round, not humid and most importantly with clean air. I was in Chiang Mai recently and the air pollution had become so bad (~200 AQI), that I've been seriously thinking about my exposure to air pollution and how damaging it can be in the long term. 💡 Solution The tool I made is called Climate Finder and lets you pick a temperature, humidity, rain, air quality and busy-ness range and time period to match places based on your desired climate. ☁️ Data Temperature, rain and humidity data is from the past year. Air quality data is averages from the past few years. For about 80% of the cities I have monthly air quality data, for most of the missing 20% I use World Health Organizations' annual air quality average. I have data for ~1,400 cities. Thanks to @gabrielchuan for helping me collect the historical air quality data. 💬 Feedback I'd love to hear your feedback because it's a work in progress. The next features I was thinking off is adding type line charts. Let me know what you think! -Pieter

Love this, @levelsio! This is a really interesting way of visualizing the climate of a city. My only request would be if you could add a filter type for city or country name? I would love to be able to pull it up for places I know I'm going to visit in the next year so I can figure out when would be best to visit them.

fantastic idea. think i have a big though. in the “ Cities that are warm, have clean air, comfortable humidity and have nomads there all year round” link. i delete the “nomad” filter. ie i don’t care if there’s nomads there or not, and then it says zero results. when surely the results should increase by removing the # of filters

OMG I was looking for exactly this a few days ago, and searching city by city on Nomad List was not practical. That's it, I'm moving to Lisbon!

Tracking air pollution has recently become one of the things I am always interested about. I appreciate clean air and love to stay healthy. Good job!

Tried this with cities in LATAM and I was pleasantly surprised with how well the climate is show in my country, cool thing!

This is really cool. Props! I've often thought about something like this that could essentially drill down ideal places to live, but taking into consideration a full-gamut of vital factors in addition to weather.

Awesome addition to Nomad List, well executed 👌Feature request: similar dashboard as this one but for allergies. It would be based on the type of plants that grow in an area and when. Not sure how feasible, reliable or worthwhile it would be to make but been wanting to build something like that myself for awhile.

Congrats Pieter. Looks very promising. What about showing found cities on a map, too? It will provide an insight about the query. After clicking the marker on the map, it can scroll or expand to detailed info.

ou, good apps for travellers or freelancers. I think that the most comfortable climate in the Mediterranean region. Especially if you live in cold climate before

Oh I am looking for Weatherspark alternative. Climate Finder is promising! I usually want to know two things: 1. Given a specific month, where are places that have that month in its best-time-to-visit ranges (can be tricky, winter can be best or worst time) 2. Given a country, which months should I visit (I think this is the most common question) +1 for adding graph next

Amazing work. So, where did you decide to settle? Hawaii seems like a good choice :)

Great tool! Suggestion for you: can you include a key of sorts at the top where you add the filter so one can understand what ranges for different metrics are considered good/bad/very good etc. I care about air quality and would like to filter by it but I dont understand the AQI metric intuitively. Thanks!

@levelsio this is great! Typo in the first sentence "humdity". Thank you for another tool for more conscious living.

Any chance some of your US temperature data may be in Fahrenheit with filtering done in Celsius?

Really like the idea! Coming from Miami, I know that humidity can be a killer for those who come here on vacation in the summer months and having this variety of information would be very helpful to have!

Great data! This is begging for some other ways to visualize. Who's going to make a map view? :)

Any plan on making this into an app?

Where do you get those climate data? How do we sure that's valid?

A lot of time and research went into this one, good job!
