Methodology
Warmth and rain come from the same 5-year monthly climate normals (average daily high, rain days) that power every climate chart on this site; winter figures are the Dec–Feb mean. Daylight is computed from each city's latitude with the standard solar-declination formula for December 21. The ranking score is winter average high (°C) − 0.6 × rain days per month — no editorial weighting, fully reproducible from the table. Southern-hemisphere cities are included (December–February is their summer). Full data practices: our methodology.
