Climate Seeker was created because I wanted something like it and was unsuccessful at finding it. I was trying to find a tool where I could search for locations by specific weather criteria and see them on a map without being required to sign up. I'm also a software developer who likes maps, so I figured I would build it.
As I worked on the app for my own needs, I realized it may be useful for others: People looking for a retirement destination, researching locations for a vacation, finding somewhere to work as a digital nomad, or just exploring to see what the weather is like in other locations around the world. Over time, I hope to find ways to incorporate more kinds of data into the app, but for now it's primarily weather data. I hope you find it useful!
Also, two things I really dislike: paywalls and ads that make a website or product frustrating to use. Climate Seeker is free. It may have ads and affiliate links to cover infrastructure costs. Use them if they're useful or ignore them if not. I'll do my best to keep them out of your way. If any ads are shown, they will be contextual, not personalized. Please refer to the privacy policy for more information.
Why is the temperature for my city different from what I expect?
Climate data is sourced from ERA5, a global atmospheric reanalysis that models conditions across the entire planet on a grid. The value shown for a city reflects the grid cell it falls in, which may not perfectly match a local weather station, especially in areas with significant elevation changes or coastal effects nearby.
What does "feels like" temperature mean?
Feels-like (apparent temperature) combines actual temperature, humidity, and wind to estimate how hot or cold conditions feel to the human body. High humidity makes summer heat feel more oppressive; wind makes winter cold feel sharper. The hottest and coldest feels-like values shown for a city are the warmest and coldest monthly averages across the year.
Why doesn't my city have ocean or lake temperature data?
Ocean and lake temperatures are shown for cities within roughly 60 miles of the water, so you can find coastal climates even if you plan to live a short drive from the beach. Cities further inland will not have these values.
How current is the data?
Climate statistics are currently based on 2025 data. We plan to refresh the dataset annually.
Is this data guaranteed to be accurate?
Climate Seeker is provided for informational and exploratory purposes. While the underlying data comes from well-regarded scientific sources, values are modeled estimates and should not be used as the sole basis for major decisions.
