20 Best Cities with No Snow

Every city here records zero measurable snowfall: not rarely, not in unusual years, but never. If snow is the part of winter you most want to leave behind, these cities have solved that problem entirely.

Every city on this list records zero measurable snowfall: not rarely, not in unusual years, but never. Copiapo, Chile leads the ranking by sunny days per year, but every entry shares the same hard threshold. The one weather event that disrupts transport, requires equipment, and makes outdoor life genuinely difficult is simply absent from the forecast, year after year.

The 13 countries across 4 continents range wider than a purely tropical list would. Snow-free cities exist at a range of latitudes as long as winter temperatures stay reliably above freezing, which can happen through tropical heat, coastal moderation, or desert conditions where cold air rarely penetrates. This list reflects that variety.

Snow-free does not automatically mean warm. 14 cities on this list have genuinely cool winters: they stay above freezing, but not by a large margin. If year-round warmth is the goal rather than just the absence of snow, the winter low column shows which cities deliver both. The entries with the highest winter lows are the ones that combine no snow with genuine warmth.
