About SeasonScore
SeasonScore answers one question: is this a good month to visit this city? Pick a city and a month and you get a score out of 10, the reasons behind it, and what else is going on that month: holidays and crowds, festivals, cherry blossom or autumn leaves, live weather and alerts, and the basics you need when you land.
Who it's for
People choosing when to go, or where to go in a given month, who want a straight answer instead of ten tabs of weather sites, forum threads and listicles.
📊 How the score works
Each city gets a score out of 10 for every month: four factors combined in different proportions: weather comfort (temperature, humidity, rain), air quality, seasonal hazards (floods, storms, extreme heat) and safety. 8.5+ is Excellent, 7.5+ Very good, 6.5+ Good, below that Fair. How it works & data sources →
How it stays honest
- Real data only. Scores come from climate records (weather-station normals where available), satellite air-quality data and official sources. If we don't have data for something, the page says so rather than guessing.
- Sources on the page. Holidays, nature dates, seasons and travel advice each show where they came from. The full list is on How it works & sources.
- Typical vs live. The score describes a typical year. Live weather, air quality, disaster alerts, news and official travel advice are shown separately, so you can see when this year is different.
- No paid placements. No city or business pays to rank higher. Some links (like the "What to pack" items) are affiliate links that earn us a small commission. They're always labelled and never change any score.
What it can't tell you
SeasonScore is a planning aid, not professional advice. Weather varies year to year, events get moved, and safety situations change quickly. Before you travel, check your government's official travel advice, local news and your airline or hotel. The medical-tourism pages list hospitals and accreditations for research only; they aren't medical advice or recommendations of any provider.
Who's behind it
SeasonScore is an independent project, built and maintained in Bangkok. It isn't affiliated with any tourism board, airline or travel company.
